Identities, to which the process of regionalism is intimately tied, have a close connection to ancestral land. Land, or space, is protected by social laws, formal and informal instruments of power against an intrusion by another identity.The author argues that human society is divided into two identity groups, namely, a conservative and a liberal identity. Framing the argument in terms of the identity duality advances the present body of knowledge and understanding of conflict and human society. The author seeks to explain the dualism in human nature and the occurrence of wars in human society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1 Introduction Liberal Peace and Conflict of Identities Identity Duality in a Historical Perspective A Conservative and a Liberal Democracy Chapter 1: Human Liberty in the Context of Identity Alignment Chapter 2: From Individual to Social Regionalism: Conflict within Societies and Provoked Mobility Causes of Migration Territorial Dominance Chapter 3: Fragmented Families Gender Roles in the Process of Regionalism Social Approval of Marriages Chapter 4: Prevalence of Institutional Regionalism in Societies Corruption Institutional Regionalism Alcoholism and Suicide Chapter 5: Concluding Remarks Identity Equilibrium Spatial Proximity as a Means of Ameliorating Conflict Part 2 Chapter 6: Identity Duality and International Relations  Moving Beyond the Anarchy Mode On the Problem of Double Standards Rational Incompatibilities","brand":"Hamilton Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037889560919,"sku":"9780761868743","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780761868743.jpg?v=1750938035","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/conflict-for-space-9780761868743","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
