Spatial differentiation and driving factors of domestic political conflicts in India
In order to reveal the causes of the spatial differentiation of political conflicts in In-dia from 2010 to 2021,the driving factor system was constructed and optimized by Z-score stan-dardization and correlation analysis based on the data of political conflicts in India included in the armed conflict location and event Data Project,combined with the driving factor values of various Indian states.The geographical detector is used to detect the above preferred driving fac-tors.The results show that:(1)All the 14 preferred driving factors have passed the significance test,among which the Muslim population ratio,the number of ethnic groups,the proportion of non-official political parties,and the population density have strong single-factor driving forces.(2)After double-factor interaction,Q value increased significantly with an average growth rate of 266%after the interaction of all driving factors.It can be seen that the domestic political con-flict in India is the result of the joint action of various driving factors and has multiple superposi-tion effects,showing"1+1>2"mechanism of action;After the interaction between religious and ethnic factors and other categories,the explanation of spatial differentiation is the largest.(3)To improve the political and security situation in the region,India should give priority to solving such problems as religious confrontation,ethnic separation,unstable grain output and rational use of water resources.
