Noun

intransigence (countable and uncountable, plural intransigences)

1. Unwillingness to change one's views or to agree.

   The intransigence of both sides frustrated the negotiators.

   • 2013, Simon Jenkins, Gibraltar and the Falklands deny the logic of history (in The Guardian, 14 August 2013)[1]

     The curse has been Spanish ineptitude feeding Gibraltarian intransigence. Border hold-ups are counterproductive to winning hearts and minds, as were blundering Argentinian landings on the outer Falklands.
