Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In many ways genocide comprises an overtly rational attempt to achieve a specific goal or goals. In all cases the genocidal impulse toward destruction appears to be motivated by the perverse logic of a state deciding that a population must be removed from the national community and then organizing the resources necessary to accomplish this destructive goal. While the specific motivations for individual genocides may vary, this underlying rationality appears to always be present. While a government may be ostensibly motivated by clear political, economic, or social interests in pursuing genocidal policies, that motivation is supported and legitimated by various belief systems that provide the necessary justification for the wholesale killing of men, women, and children from within a targeted victim group. In other words, the apparently sane, if reprehensible, decision to destroy a population and the coherent steps needed to implement that decision often rests, not only on rational and understandable reasons, but also on irrational justifications such as emotion, myths, stereotypes, nationalism, xenophobia and other beliefs and attitudes. These perceptual elements are often crucial in guiding and shaping the decision making process that is otherwise pragmatic. In short, belief systems or ideologies play a significant role in providing the non-intellectual and non-rational elements necessary for any genocide to take place. This paper comprises an exploration of the role that those ideas and beliefs play in facilitating the genocidal process. This emotive component of genocide is frequently overlooked, yet is nevertheless an important aspect to this crime.
