What are the dynamics of ongoing conflicts where a satisfactory political framework hasn’t been reached?
In many ethno-political conflicts around the world the armed conflict may have been brought to an end, but the relationship between secessionist entity seeking more autonomy or independence and the state remains uneasy. What are the dynamics of these ongoing conflicts where a satisfactory political framework hasn’t been reached and the threat of hostilities breaking out continues?
