Non-State Actors - Professor Herbert Hirsch

Dr. Herbert Hirsch, Professor of Political Science at Virginia Commonwealth University, editor of the International Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies' peer-reviewed journal, Genocide Studies International, and faculty member of the Genocide and Human Rights University Program introduces the new phenomenon of non-state actors and genocide.

The underlying causes and motivations of terrorist groups and their role in genocide, such as the activities of ISIS, will be addressed in the upcoming 2016 Fall special issue of the Institute’s journal Genocide Studies International, devoted to: “Non-State Actors and Genocide.”

Non-state actors are groups that do not represent a state or government and that have now come to the forefront as one of the main types of perpetrators of genocide in the 21st century.
