Study Notes
Boundary Types
- Defined Boundary: Established through treaties or legal documents, providing official recognition and terms.
- Delimited Boundary: Represented on maps as agreed upon by the involved parties.
- Demarcated Boundary: Physically marked using fences, walls, or posts, providing a clear visual indication of separation.
Boundary Administration
- Boundaries are administered by governments to enforce laws regarding crossing and the transport of goods.
- Administration involves determining who can cross the boundary and what goods are permitted, including considerations of demarcation.
Types of Physical Boundaries
- Natural/Physical-Political Boundary: Boundaries that follow natural landscape features such as rivers or mountains.
- Artificial/Geometric Boundary: Often defined by latitude and longitude, disregarding the physical landscape.
Historical Context of Boundaries
- Antecedent Boundary: Established before significant population or cultural landscape development in the area.
- Subsequent Boundary: Created after an area has been settled, taking into account existing cultural and social factors.
- Superimposed Boundary: Imposed by external powers, often without regard for the existing cultural or ethnic landscapes.
Cultural Boundaries
- Relic Boundary: A historical boundary that no longer serves as an active political border but is still visible in the cultural landscape.
Boundary Disputes
- Definitional Boundary Disputes: Arise from disagreements regarding the actual definition or legal description of the boundary.
- Locational Boundary Disputes: Occur when the placement of the boundary is disputed, particularly regarding demarcation or delimitation.
- Operational Boundary Disputes: Involves neighboring countries disagreeing on how the border should function or be managed.
- Allocational Boundary Disputes: Focus on conflicts regarding natural resource extraction and the distribution of resources across a boundary.
