Jaroslav Tir is an assistant professor in the field of Political Science at The University of Georgia.
Tir's book makes an original and lasting contribution to study of
international conflict. It provides an insightful empirically
grounded study of the role of territorial changes in both conflict
and peace. It is a book that every scholar, policy maker, and
student interested in global conflict and peace will benefit from
reading.
*John A. Vasquez, Mackie Scholar in International Relations,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign*
This book is a great step forward in the study of international
conflict processes. A unified model linking territorial changes and
future militarized conflict is developed and tested. The findings
have implications for many areas of research, most notably,
territorial conflict, ethnic conflict and temporal conflict
diffusion. The book is a 'must read' for scholars with general
interests in the international relations as well as specialists on
conflict.
*Patrick James, University of Southern California*
Careless scholarly speculation and partisan rhetoric have long
advocated changing territorial boundaries to solve conflicts. In
this path- breaking work, Tir provides systematic, empirical
evidence about such claims and discovers that reality is nowhere
near as simple as those prescriptions suggest.
*Paul F. Diehl, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign*
