This book presents a collection of new and updated essays on what
has come to be known as the territorial explanation of war. The
book argues that a key both to peace and to war lies in
understanding the role territory plays as a source of conflict and
inter-group violence. Of all the issues that spark conflict,
territorial disputes have the highest probability of escalating to
war. War, however, is hardly inevitable; much depends on how
territorial issues are handled. More importantly, settling
territorial disputes and establishing mutually recognized
boundaries can produce long periods of peace between neighbors,
even if other salient issues arise. While territory is not the only
cause of war and wars arise from other issues, territory is one of
the main causes of war, and learning how to manage it, can, in
principle, eliminate an entire class of wars. This book will be of
great interest to all students of war and conflict studies, causes
of war and peace, international security and strategic studies.
