Abstract
The concept of genocide remains one of the most contested in the field of violence research, and its definition and application have inspired decades of scholarship and debate. In this forum, we host a pivotal exchange between two prominent voices: Martin Shaw, who defends the term’s conceptual robustness and practical utility, and Dirk Moses, who critiques its limitations and calls for a fundamental rethinking of its theoretical underpinnings. This dialogue not only engages with the ongoing academic discourse but also highlights the practical implications of using ‘genocide’ in public debate sand legal contexts.
