Study Notes
Boundary Types
- Defined boundary: Established through treaties or legal agreements between two entities.
- Delimited boundary: Drawn on maps by agreement; created by cartographers to visually represent borders.
- Demarcated boundary: Marked visibly on the ground using structures like walls, fences, or posts. Examples include US-Mexico and India-Pakistan borders.
- Natural/physical-political boundary: Follows natural features of the landscape, such as rivers or mountains; the Rio Grande serves as an example.
- Artificial/geometric boundary: Created based on geometric principles like latitude and longitude; seen in regions like Africa and the Texas-New Mexico border.
- Antecedent boundary: Drawn before significant population growth or cultural development; examples include the Malaysia-Indonesia border and the 49th Parallel.
- Subsequent boundary: Established post-settlement, reflecting cultural differences such as ethnicity and religion; notable cases include the partition of India and the borders within Ireland.
- Superimposed boundary: Drawn by external powers without regard to existing cultural patterns; a key example is the boundaries formed during the Berlin Conference in Africa.
- Relic boundary: A former boundary that no longer functions but is still evident in the cultural landscape; examples include the Berlin Wall and the Vietnam division.
Boundary Dispute Types
- Definitional boundary dispute: Contentions arise over the legal definition of a boundary; Lake Amistad and the USA-Mexico border illustrate this type.
- Locational boundary dispute: Disagreements focus on the actual placement of a boundary; the Saudi-Yemeni border is an example.
- Operational boundary dispute: Conflicts involve disagreements on the governance or administration of a boundary, such as claims regarding border management in the USA-Mexico border.
- Allocational boundary dispute: Conflicts over resource extraction locations relative to boundaries; notable cases include the Rumaila Oil Field conflict between Iraq and Kuwait and the Rio Grande.
