Description
Settlers in Contested Lands: Territorial Disputes and Ethnic Conflicts This book examines the complex dynamics of politics among settlers in contested territories, shedding light on how conflicts emerge, evolve, and prove difficult to resolve. By exploring six contemporary cases from around the world, including Israel and the West Bank, Morocco's Western Sahara, and Sri Lanka, the authors reveal the common challenges faced by settler communities in conflict situations. The book delves into four key topics: state reconfiguration, mobilization and violence, framing processes, and legal principles versus pragmatism. By analyzing these cases together, the authors identify interrelated questions about the role of settlers in conflicts and explore how differences in settler mobilization impact peace processes.
