"Territorial withdrawal is an enduring research and policy problem that manifests in a wide range of conflicts. From Israel to the US and many more in the global north and south alike, numerous states have faced the dilemmas that accompany occupation and exit. Though vast gulfs of time and space separate each case, a key commonality is that occupation and exit are two diverse and complex phenomena. The diverse range of inputs that precipitate the decision to withdraw are manifold and span a state's internal and external political interactions. Peter Stirk, for instance, argues that in military occupations: 'the distinctions between the international and the domestic, between war and peace [...] become fluid and uncertain'"-- Provided by publisher.
