In this book, Dan Stone gives a global history of concentration camps, and shows that it is not only 'mad dictators' who have set up camps, but instead all varieties of states, including liberal democracies, that have made use of them. Setting concentration camps against the longer history of incarceration, he explains how the ability of the modern state to control populations led to the creation of this extreme institution. Looking at their emergence and spread around the world, Stone argues that concentration camps serve the purpose, from the point of view of the state in crisis, of removing a section of the population that is perceived to be threatening, traitorous, or diseased. Drawing on contemporary accounts of camps, as well as the philosophical literature surrounding them, Stone considers the story camps tell us about the nature of the modern world as well as about specific regimes.

Pendant la dictature stalinienne, la police politique enferma au Goulag et soumit au travail forcé plus de 28 millions de personnes. Les répressions contre les opposants politiques et les campagnes pour purger et discipliner la population soviétique alimentèrent camps et villages d'exil pendant trente ans (1930-1960). Composant une main-d'œuvre corvéable à merci, détenus et exilés furent au service d'une entreprise productiviste sans précédent. Comment expliquer l'importance du Goulag dans les dynamiques de croissance extensive en URSS ? Quel type de société s'est formé dans les camps et en exil ? Quelle influence ce système pénitentiaire a-t-il exercé sur la société soviétique ? Pourquoi et comment les compagnons de Staline ont-ils démantelé le Goulag après sa mort en 1953 ? L'expérience du Goulag dépasse le cadre de la seule histoire de l'URSS : elle concerna non seulement des Soviétiques de toutes nationalités, mais aussi des millions d'Européens et d'Asiatiques. À ce titre aussi, elle est au cœur de l'histoire du XXe siècle.

Argues that the use of camps and detention facilities has been a ubiquitous practice in countless wars and genocides in order to achieve the wartime objectives of perpetrators.
