Territorial Changes and International Conflict [Hardcover]

This book charts the incidence of territorial changes and military conflicts from 1816 to 1980. Using statistical and descriptive analysis, the authors attempt to answer three related sets of questions:

* When does military conflict accompany the process of national independence?

* When do states fight over territorial changes and when are such transactions completed peacefully?

* How do territorial changes affect future military conflict between the states involved in the exchange?
