這項研究通過分析坦桑尼亞和馬拉維之間再次出現(xiàn)和持久存在馬拉維湖邊界爭端,致力于研究為何非洲潛伏的領土爭端再度出現(xiàn)。除了采取從歷史和殖民邊界的角度審視領土爭端的傳統(tǒng)方法,我們還采用了多學科分析的方式進行研究;民族國家在涉及領土邊界政治和外交政策方面為了獲得油氣資源等利益最大化的轉變。這篇論文進一步研究了為何獨立的第三方在協(xié)調解決爭端問題時沒有主動權,調解無效。研究者還著眼于調查民族國家的在領土統(tǒng)一和主權方面的固有原則以及邊界沖突方面的各國權利。依據(jù)博弈論與沖突管理理論的邏輯,這項領域的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)集中于強調爭端再度出現(xiàn)的主要特征和坦桑尼亞為何決定改變關于馬拉維湖所有權方面的領土政治和外交政策。研究者認為,在更大的程度上,馬拉維湖的邊界爭端經(jīng)歷五十年潛伏期再度出現(xiàn)是因為兩個截然相反的經(jīng)濟利益集團為了各自的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展在油氣資源方面的產(chǎn)生的激烈競爭。進一步解釋,即在這場爭端中經(jīng)濟利益爭端是建立于政治、歷史和民族主義利益的問題上的。毫無疑問,這些問題極大地加劇了爭端的沖突性和持久性,因為每一個參與方都致力于贏得這場保護捍衛(wèi)其經(jīng)濟和政治利益的競賽。按照沖突管理理論與博弈論的邏輯,各國奉行的是能確保它們自...
