Border Conflicts
Border Conflicts explores the enduring significance of territorial disputes in shaping international relations and national identities. The book examines how lines on a map become deeply intertwined with a nation's sense of self, often rooted in historical grievances and political maneuvering. Many current border conflicts stem from the legacy of colonialism, where arbitrary divisions disregarded existing cultural and ethnic boundaries. These divisions created lasting tensions over resources, influence, and sovereignty, making them worth fighting for and shaping todayâs geopolitics. The book adopts a structured approach, beginning with fundamental concepts such as territoriality and nationalism. It then delves into specific historical and contemporary border conflicts across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, illustrating the diverse factors at play. By synthesizing these case studies, Border Conflicts identifies common patterns and underlying drivers, such as ethnic conflicts and power imbalances. Ultimately, the work proposes potential solutions and strategies for conflict resolution, emphasizing diplomacy and international law to offer practical insights into the complexities of international relations.
The European Union and Border Conflicts

It is generally assumed that regional integration leads to stability and peace. This book is a systematic study of the impact of European integration on the transformation of border conflicts. It provides a theoretical framework centred on four 'pathways' of impact and applies them to five cases of border conflicts: Cyprus, Ireland, Greece/Turkey, Israel/Palestine and various conflicts on Russia's border with the EU. The contributors suggest that integration and association provide the EU with potentially powerful means to influence border conflicts, but that the EU must constantly re-adjust its policies depending on the dynamics of each conflict. Their findings reveal the conditions upon which the impact of integration rests and challenge the widespread notion that integration is necessarily good for peace. This book will appeal to scholars and students of international relations, European politics, and security studies studying European integration and conflict analysis.
