Abstract
This article surveys risk factors for genocide and genocide prevention from the perspectives of four social science disciplines: sociology, social psychology, politicalcscience, and economics. Each discipline brings a valuable set of concepts and tools to bear in genocide research. More over, fruitful multi- and inter-disciplinary collaboration across the four disciplines (and other fields) is shedding new insights into why genocidehas have been such a recurring tragedy in human affairs and how such atrocities can be prevented.
