3. Role Expectations as Motivators of Mass Violence Perpetration : A Normative Approach to Understanding Perpetrator Behaviour During the Yugoslav Wars from 1991–1995
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Hugo Valentin-centrumSammanfattning : The enduring question of why apparently ordinary individuals participate in the systemic perpetration of mass violence hallmarks genocide studies, and it arose yet again when the multifarious atrocities faced by civilians in the Yugoslav Wars of 1991–1995 were apparent. With explanations resting on notions of “ancient hatreds” having been denounced in favour of ones that emphasise the role of emotions like fear and resentment, ethnic myths and symbols, and competition on group and individual levels of society, there remains some issues with these approaches; they cannot account for what motivates variations in behaviour by on-the-ground perpetrators nor can they describe the process by which violence develops in tandem on micro- and meso-levels, while still accommodating macro-level causes for conflict.

4. Evaluating the academic connectedness between Transitional Justice and the scientific subfields of Forensic Archaeology and Forensic Antropology : A mixed method approachA mixed method approach
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Hugo Valentin-centrumSammanfattning : The fields of Transitional Justice and Forensic Archaeology and Anthropology are all, one way or another, in the service of Truth Finding; theoretically they should be incorporated within each other’s theoretical frameworks and mechanisms, as the fields have considerate overlap. Approaching the fields from an academic perspective, one will soon learn that, although connected by Truth, their academic foundations are vastly different, in every sense possible; their ontology, epistemology as well as their dissemination of research.
