Description: "The partition of the Indian subcontinent, the collapse of the Soviet Union and erstwhile Yugoslavia, the reunification of Germany, the continuing feud between the two Koreas, the Irish peace process, the case of Israel/Palestine and the lingering division of Cyprus have together fuelled new thinking on the strategy and acts of partitioning countries, states, nations and continuities. They have also given rise to a huge body of literature. However, studies of partitions have usually focused on individual cases. This volume uses comparative analysis to fill the gap in partition studies and examines cross-cutting issues."

"This book will be of great interest to historians, political scientists, philosophers, policy-makers, international relations experts, and peace building institutions and practitioners, and political scientists."--Jacket.
