However, instead of creating confidence at a global level, the elections have ignited a stream of controversies.

Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Asking the people of two states to meet can be violative of state nationalism.As a confidence building measure (CBM) recommended from outside the state, it can be subversive. Nationalism unites a nation by designating an enemy outside it. This unity is based on a people hating another people as a collectivity. By recommending that people meet across the national frontier, we ask the two peoples to distance themselves from their mutually hostile states.
