The Territorial Management of Ethnic Conflict (Hardcover, 2nd edition)

Ethnic differences have the capacity to lead to deep tensions within states, tensions which frequently find expression in some form of inter-territorial conflict. One of the most characteristic approaches to resolve disputes of this kind, or at least to reduce their destructive capacities to a minimum, is to seek an accommodation between the competing groups through some form of territorial restructuring. The object of this book is to look at the manner in which states attempt to cope with ethnic conflict through such territoral approaches.
