Abstract Are past border changes responsible for today's civil wars? Departing from conventional, state‐centric research designs, this article examines question by focusing on “aggregate” ethnic groups, which are defined independently of state borders. Introducing a new index “territorial fractionalization” that measures how fragmented such groups across states, we postulate higher fragmentation is linked to greater risk conflict. Furthermore, expect experienced increases in particularly...
