Border Conflicts

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 today’s 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.
