Border Disputes

Border disputes refer to disagreements or conflicts between two or more territories or nations over the demarcation or governance of their borders. These disputes often stem from historical claims, differing interpretations of treaties, geographical ambiguities, or ethnic divides. Border disputes can lead to diplomatic tensions, military confrontations, or prolonged negotiations as each party seeks to assert its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Such disputes are a significant aspect of international relations and can influence geopolitical dynamics, security protocols, and regional stability. Examples of border disputes include those between India and Pakistan over Kashmir, China and India over Arunachal Pradesh, and various disputes in Africa resulting from colonial legacies. Effective resolution usually involves diplomatic dialogue, mediation, or intervention by international bodies.
