Artificial Borders Conflicts
この電子書籍について
The book argues these borders aren't just lines; they actively shape political landscapes.
It's crucial to understand the history of imperialism, such as the scramble for Africa, to understand the contemporary geopolitical landscape.
These borders often disrupt social structures and exacerbate inter-group tensions, directly causing conflict.
The book explores the historical context of artificial border creation, the socio-political ramifications for affected populations, and the long-term impact on international relations.
Beginning with a theoretical framework for border studies, the book progresses chronologically and thematically, analyzing specific cases across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Consider the Sykes-Picot Agreement, where arbitrary lines redrew the Middle East, impacting current conflicts.
The book analyzes potential solutions and strategies for mitigating the negative impacts of these borders.
Through historical records, treaties, maps, demographic data, and case studies, the book demonstrates the impact of artificial borders.
Readers will gain insights into the underlying causes of ongoing conflicts and critically evaluate policy proposals related to border management, conflict resolution, and international development.
The book also addresses debates surrounding sovereignty, self-determination, and the legacy of colonialism.
