Abstract
This academic article is part of a research project titled "A Literature Review Conceptualizing the Theory of the “Intents of the State-Supported Mega-murder”" The objective is to review academic literature concerning the concept of political violence, especially works. The author employed Bacon's inductive reasoning method to analyze theories and concepts related to factors influencing state decisions that lead to state-sponsored mass murder. The analysis revealed that political violence is characterized by asymmetrical power dynamics between state authorities and their victims. The authorities claim legitimacy in annihilating targeted groups for the state's benefit, while the victims are stigmatized and rendered powerless. Based on the literature review, the author synthesized patterns of factors to study state-sponsored mass murder. The first pattern shows that state-sponsored mass murder often emerges from closed systems of power relations between state authorities and targeted groups. The second pattern identifies three factors underpinning the state's intent to carry out mass killings: 1) authorities' desire to maintain control over the state, 2) concerns about internal state security, and 3) the perception of targeted groups as "the other." These factors lead to systematic justification of political violence against targeted groups, both psychologically and practically.
