New Research on Territorial Conquest, Expansion, and Empire

Sun, September 1, 10:00 to 11:30am, Hilton, Columbia 9

Session Submission Type: Full Paper Panel

Session Description

This panel will showcase new and exciting research on territorial conquest, expansion, and empire. Drawing on a variety of perspectives and methods, the panel will examine key questions related to territorial expansion, such as: why do some states seek wealth through expansion? What are the causes of post-1945 territorial conquest? What are the systemic effects of status-motivated expansion? And what explains expansion that is not intended by state leaders? These panel will also cover extensive empirical terrain, ranging from the early 19th century United States, to the Scramble for Africa of the late 19th century, to the contemporary, post-1945 world. The panel should be of interest to scholars of international relations theory, international security studies, and international history and politics.
