This book investigates how states and secessionists seek to resolve questions of de facto control in the aftermath of secessionist wars.
This work presents a study of the termination and aftermath of separatist wars, using two in-depth case studies – the Georgia-Abkhazia conflict (1994-2006) and the Serbia-Kosovo conflict (1999-2008) – to develop an empirically grounded theoretical framework to explain state and secessionist strategies for controlling territory and populations in post-war environments. It draws on fieldwork and archival research carried out in Georgia, Abkhazia, Serbia, Kosovo, and the UN archives and presents further evidence to develop and extend the framework using ‘shadow cases’ of the separatist wars in the Caucasus and the Balkans. By focusing on actors’ objectives and their strategies for controlling territory and populations within the constraints and opportunities of a post-war context, this study helps explain what states and secessionists do and why in the critical period after a war ends and helps inform understanding of the formation and trajectories of post-war orders. This study has relevance for international policymakers, with reflections on how the theoretical framework may facilitate conflict analysis and inform policy responses towards protracted armed conflict.
This book will be of interest to students of statehood, intra-state conflict and civil wars, international security, and International Relations in general.

In the forgotten hills of West Virginia, a dark presence lurks within a long-abandoned farmhouse, hungry for fresh souls.
When John Dorsett moves his family into the crumbling homestead, they have no warning of the unspeakable horrors that await. Strange events begin to unfold around them - scratching in the walls, cries in the night, shadows dancing at the edge of sight.
As the supernatural occurrences grow more terrifying, John realizes his family is caught in the crosshairs of a deadly struggle between forces beyond his understanding. He''ll stop at nothing to save his wife and children, even if it means journeying into a nightmarish world of untold dangers.
But can he outrun the darkness coming for them all? Will his family survive the ancient evil that calls their new home its hunting ground? John is about to find out what true darkness remains when the sun goes down in rural Appalachia...
Delving into the mysteries of the paranormal, What Darkness Remains is a chilling tale that will keep you turning pages late into the night. With palpable suspense and vividly drawn characters, Nicholas Barker invites you to step into the shadows and experience the terror for yourself...if you dare.
