Berg and Ben-Porat state that territoriality is “a form of behavior that uses territory as an instrument to achieve a particular outcome” (p. 30, 2008). Territory can be maintained as long as the integrity of the agreements made are respected, if they are not it can lead to violent conflict within an area. (Berg, Ben-Porat, 2008) The meaning of partition is the division of a country into one or more territories to remedy new political boundaries in order to end ethnic conflicts. Many arguments have been made for and against the idea of ​​partition, with many controversial results in countries that undertook partition, with the impression that it would end ethnic conflict within. A nation is something that is born and not something that can be created by the political powers involved, nationalism describes the loyalty one has to one's nation, thus complicating the situation when it comes to deciding whether partition can be an appropriate solution to violent conflict, while a nation is not. seen as something that can be broken. (Fearon, 2004) Many have argued that lasting civil peace is not possible by dividing what is called a "real" state into divided states and boundaries. (Fearon, 2004) The idea of ​​a sovereign state is to be a whole within a base without interference from other bodies. Partition was described as a job that would create separate sovereign bodies where each party involved could implement their own ethnic or other views. (Berg, Bon-Porat, 2008) It has been described as a “last resort” solution leading to a compromise between territorial expression and self-determination.
