The geographic spread of militarized disputes

Article Abstract:

The hypothesis that geograpic processes cause military conflict to cluster and diffuse is examined and a competitive test of potential explanations of the process of geographic spread is proposed. The regressions show that spread of individual disputes is a function of the issue over which they are fought, the presence of essential resources in host country, the prevailing terrain of that country, and the relevant conflict history of participants.
