Territorial autonomy and self-determination conflicts: opportunity and willingness cases from Bolivia, Niger, and Thailand Suso, Roger The paradox of autonomy is about whether self-rule accommodates or exacerbates armed conflict. This study attempts to unpack the puzzle examining the effectiveness of territorial autonomy as a state response to self-determination conflicts throughout the world. It challenges the conflict-inducing features of autonomy arguing that territorial autonomy can mitigate armed conflict by channeling group grievances into peaceful forms of protest. Thus, this study aims at arriving at a comprehensive theory that identifies which factors are responsible for violent escalation of conflicts grounded in self-determination demands. By using the concepts of opportunity structures and willingness dimension, this study shows that conflict escalation only takes place when minorities with greater bargaining power vis-à-vis the center, in contexts of high levels of economic inequality within dyad, are mobilized around autonomy and separatist demands. 2010-11-25T10:17:17Z 2010-11-25T10:17:17Z 2010-11-25T10:17:17Z 2010-11-25T10:17:17Z info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper 2013.5793 (en línia) 2013.5785 (paper) http://hdl.handle.net/2072/96890 eng ICIP working papers;2010/01 RECERCAT (Dipòsit de la Recerca de Catalunya) Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús de Creative Commons, amb la qual es permet copiar, distribuir i comunicar públicament l'obra sempre que se'n citin l'autor original i l'Institut i no se'n faci cap ús comercial ni obra derivada, tal com queda estipulat en la llicència d'ús (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/es/)
