Democracys Blameless Leaders: From Dresden To Abu Ghraib, How Leaders Evade Accountability For Abuse, Atrocity, And Killing,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From the American and British counterinsurgency in Iraq to the bombing of Dresden and the Amristar Massacre in India, civilians are often abused and killed when they are caught in the crossfire of wars and other conflicts. In Democracys Blameless Leaders, Neil Mitchell examines how leaders in democracies manage the blame for the abuse and the killing of civilians, arguing that politicians are likely to react in a selfinterested and opportunistic way and seek to deny and evade accountability.Using empirical evidence from wellknown cases of abuse and atrocity committed by the security forces of established, liberal democracies, Mitchell shows that selfinterested political leaders will attempt to evade accountability for abuse and atrocity, using a range of wellknown techniques including denial, delay, diversion, and delegation to pass blame for abuse and atrocities to the lowest plausible level. Mitchell argues that, despite the conventional wisdom that accountability is a central feature of democracies, it is only a rare and courageous leader who acts differently, exposing the limits of accountability in democratic societies. As democracies remain embroiled in armed conflicts, and continue to try to come to grips with past atrocities, Democracys Blameless Leaders provides a timely analysis of why these events occur, why leaders behave as they do, and how a more accountable system might be developed.
