  4. 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-centrum

    Författare :Otilia Rehnström; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Yugoslav Wars 1991-1995; Perpetrator behaviour; role expectations; social norms; role strain; role conflict;

    Sammanfattning : 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.
