Abstract
This thesis analyzes the Malvinas and Gibraltar disputes as paradigmatic cases of prolonged territorial disputes in order to assess whether their durability is influenced by a process of territorial entrenchment, which has affected the possibility of resolving the conflict.
This analysis is inserted within the theories that consider that territorial disputes differ from other international conflicts as they are affected by the value of the territory, both tangible (strategic and economic) and intangible. territorial entrenchment is a triple process that can occur in disputed territories over time, influencing the configurations of their intangible value and negatively impacting the possibilities of resolution.
The triple process implies the tangibility of the limits of the dispute, the increase of its symbolic value for the States involved and the increase of the perception of indivisibility of the territory, that is, the possibilities of resolving the dispute through partition or alienation territory becomes unviable, but none of the parties involved is willing to abandon their position, therefore the dispute persists.
The purpose of this research will be to test this answer as an explanation of the durability of the disputes in the selected cases, comparing the entrenchment process in relation to the resolution attempts. Although the bibliography for the analysis of both cases is extensive, they have not been systematically and specifically studied as cases of protracted territorial disputes.
The original contribution to the research field implies considering the cases presented as disputes where the intangible value of the territories has a strong influence on the possibility of resolution, which has been largely ignored. The comparison between the cases has not been dealt with in serious academic papers either, systematically and rigorously, which is why it is also presented as a novel proposal.
