What Mark Levene calls "genocidal processes" are, according to him, in fact "a series of state strategies," and not abstract processes going on "behind the backs" of policy makers. Levene feels licensed to use the term, because the Bangladeshi state ultimately resorted to outright genocidal measures when its pre-genocidal strategies failed. He bundles all these policies under the rubric of "genocidal processes" and calls it a case of "creeping genocide." See his excellent analysis:

Wallimann and Dobkowski's introductory essay expresses the view that insisting on the presence of intention in the definition of genocide "seems historically and politically too limiting," because "anonymous social forces" and their "structural violence" make it difficult to identify concrete agents that can be bearers of intentions.
