In the past, territorial conflict usually involved major powers
seeking hegemony over strategic spaces and resources. More
recently, however, the decline of opposing global power blocs has
elevated ethnicity to a prime cause of conflict over land.
This book considers the multiple roles ethnicity plays in fostering
territorial conflicts, both violent and non-violent, across the
globe. While land disputes relating to nationalism have resulted in
the loss of human life in some regions, in others ties between
ethnicity and land are asserted more peacefully. Nationalism and
challenges to the validity of the links between people and places
have caused widespread bloodshed in the disputed territory of
Palestine, involving competing claims of Arabs and Jews, have led
to war. In North America, however, indigenous Indians' claims to
land are settled in the courts, rather than through violence. This
book shows how human behaviour is affected by the multiple ways in
which people identify with land, topography and natural resources.
In doing so, it highlights the growing trend towards defining
physical space in specific ethnic contexts, associated with a
contemporary world that facilitates global movement.
