What is partition? What is the key disadvantage of partition from the realist perspective?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Partition is the separation of hostile ethnic or religious groups into different territories or states. From the realist perspective, the key disadvantage of partition is that it rewards separatists and creates incentives for ethnic groups to engage in ethnic cleansing, or the systematic persecution, torture, and killing or removal of a religious or ethnic group with the intent to take over the territory of that group.
