Colonial History and Terri torial Issues in Africa and Latin America
Territory, one of the essential elements of statehood, often involves people, history, culture, and national identity; therefore, disputes over territorial issues are more complex to resolve than disputes over other types of issues. Territorial disputes outside of the European continent are mostly imperial and colonial in origin; they are one of the legacies of imperial expansion and subsequent colonialism. While most territorial disputes have been between former colonies, some have involved the former colonial powers. This book consists of territorial dispute cases covering two continents: Africa and Latin America, where territorial disputes have been frequent and in a few cases developed into full-scale wars. The chapters in this book set out colonialism as a source of territorial disputes, while examining other sources; and discuss how the disputes they examine have been settled or are likely to be settled, focusing on the roles various actors have played in the process. Thus, they expand the points raised in this introduction.
