Under many respects, state partitions in modern times are about borders, belonging, transnational movements, and power politics. In my view, these aspects are particularly affecting the European stability since the industrial and French revolutions. With this assertion, however, I do not deny that the phenomenon of partitions had previously occurred, and still is occurring, all over the world. Historically, it has been justified by a variety of reasons, from religious attractions (or hatred) to the desire of conquests, from commercial interests to beliefs of civilization expansions. All these are matter of fact. Nevertheless, when I approached this field of studies, twenty years ago, I was surprised to observe that the category "partitions" is rarely used by European scholars and in the international literature when focusing on the processes of state fragmentation in modern Europe. By contrast, the notion is widely applied in other world contexts, particularly in South Asia (and British India especially), despite plenty of similar examples being offered by European events (Mohanram and Raychaudhuri, 2019)
