Chapter 12 Cross-Border Conflict Prevention and Management*

There are various obstacles and challenges to the successful settlement of territorial disputes and resource management in cross-border areas. While some of them can be handled with methodological tools that are pretty standard, others can never be easily addressed. Furthermore, specific context matters to the whole evolutionary process of boundary and territorial disputes. In order for antagonistic and neighbouring states to minimize or reduce the risk of cross-border conflicts and wars, effective mechanisms of the settlement of boundary and territorial disputes are needed. In this chapter, five conflict prevention mechanisms or techniques (including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, litigation and shelving disputes strategy) are compared and four functional zones (including buffer zone, neutral zone, demilitarized zone and international peace park) are designed for areas in conflict. Finally, the ?art of avoiding war' is drawn as a user-friendly flowchart by which prevent boundary and territorial disputes and manage wars stemming from them.
