Abstract:
|
Some disputes over territory with nationalist value are difficult to settle, while others are negotiated peacefully or the claim is dropped altogether. This paper proposes that rational decision makers select a dispute strategy that provides the highest payoff in the form of mobilized domestic support. The general hypothesis is that decision makers that are vulnerable in terms of popular support and sustainability of leadership are more likely to delay attempts to settle a dispute over territory with nationalist value since mobilized domestic support is achieved by persevering in the dispute. By using nationalist rhetoric to stir up domestic support for themselves in light of a territorial dispute, decision makers are placed in a situation in which they risk losing popularity and/or actual political power if they attempt to settle a dispute over territory claimed to be inherent to the national homeland. This theory attempts to explain why decision makers often make fewer attempts to settle disputes over territory with nationalist value. |
