PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Mark S. Berlin is an assistant professor of Political Science at Marquette University. His research examines how international law shapes countries' domestic laws and institutions, with a focus on human rights and criminal law. His research has been supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, and he is a former guest researcher at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF).
Overall, this is a deeply interesting and richly researched book that provides a welcome contribution, filling a gap in our understanding of the legal and normative adoption of international criminal provisions against atrocity. Policy audiences, academic researchers of criminal law, and International Relations and legal technocrats alike will benefit from reading it. * Audrey L. Comstock, International Affairs * Mark Berlin's Criminalizing Atrocity significantly advances existing understandings of the criminalization of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity during the postwar era. * Paul Morrow, Perspectives on Politics * In summary, this is a fantastic book. Political scientists will find that Berlin's research joins the recent wave of pathbreaking scholarship that has emerged within political science that focuses on the study of legal institutions outside constitutional courts and constitutional law. * Veronica Michel, Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal *
