Abstract
Abstract Boundary and territorial disputes often stem from material and/or cultural claims; sometimes they may also emerge as a result of fundamental changes in domestic and international environments. In certain circumstances, boundary and territorial disputes may even evolve into geopolitical games of big-power rivalry and competition. This chapter analyzes five factors (resource scarcity, locational feature, domestic politics, geopolitical competition, and cultural difference), as well as how they have decisively influenced cross-border tensions in disputed territories. In addition, a roadmap to peaceful development is provided for policymakers involved in territorial disputes.
