Early research on contentious issues in world politics suggested that there is an important distinction between largely tangible
and largely intangible issues. Tangible issues are thought to be easier to resolve, while intangible issues can fester for
long periods of time through fruitless negotiations and repeated armed conflict. Research on territorial issues has suggested
that many territorial claims are driven by both tangible and intangible concerns, though, which complicates the analysis of
issue tangibility. The authors argue that territorial issues with greater intangible salience (e.g. historical possessions,
important homelands, sacred sites, identity ties) should be harder to resolve peacefully and should produce more frequent
and severe militarized conflict. Empirical analyses of 191 territorial claims in the Americas and Western Europe (1816–2001)
provide mixed support for these expectations. Territorial claims with high intangible salience are significantly more likely
to experience militarized disputes and wars. Surprisingly, though, states are much more likely to strike peaceful agreements
with their adversaries over territories that are valued for intangible reasons.
