Territory, Proximity, and Spatiality: The Geography of International Conflict1

Abstract

This essay presents an overview of the literature on the ways in which space, spatiality, and proximity are theoretically important in the examination of international conflict behavior, for example, to agent-structure models of opportunity, notions concerning diffusion, the loss-of-strength gradient, and the effects of distance and space. The opportunity and willingness framework is used to organize both the literature and the discussion, which builds on Diehl's (1991) seminal overview of geography and conflict.
