Sommario/riassunto

This book charts the incidence of territorial changes and military conflicts from 1816 to 1980. Using statistical and descriptive analysis, the authors attempt to answer three related sets of questions:* When does military conflict accompany the process of national independence?* When do states fight over territorial changes and when are such transactions completed peacefully?* How do territorial changes affect future military conflict between the states involved in the exchange?

Sommario/riassunto

A geometric process is a simple monotone process that was first introduced by the author in 1988. It is a generalization of renewal process. This book captures the extensive research work on geometric processes that has been done since then in both probability and statistics theory and various applications. Some results are published for the first time.A reference book for researchers and a handbook for practitioners, it is also a useful textbook for postgraduate or senior undergraduate students.
