    Study Notes

    Introduction

    • Frontière: A political boundary separating the sovereignty of at least two states; often a line of conflict in international relations.
    • Boundaries are not fixed: They evolve throughout the 20th century, particularly in Africa and South America.
    • Post-World War II: Increase in the number of states and a rise in international treaties, agreements, and the role of the UN.
    • Increased complexity: The 20th and 21st centuries witnessed dramatic growth in the number of states globally.

    Types of Borders

    • Natural borders: Often based on natural features like rivers, mountains, or seas. These borders may not be completely sealed.
    • Unclear borders: Where features are more porous, not as clearly marked, and there is more freedom to cross between states.
    • Open borders: Allowing easy passage between countries, such as crossing connecting areas. Often without large man-made barriers or extensive marking.
    • Closed borders: Countries impose barriers, walls, and fences, which restrict passage between countries.

    Mexico-USA Border

    • Land boundary: Often a barrier due to physical limitations like the vast Rio Grande River.
    • Complex flows: Illegal activity such as drug trafficking, economic exchanges, migration, and human traffic.

    Roman Limes

    • Limes was a border: A defensive military boundary, often fortified with walls, towers, and military encampments.
    • Dynamic and permeable: It wasn't a static or impenetrable border. It changed. There was a mixture of protection and interaction, and crossing points existed.
    • Purpose: It was mainly a security measure to defend the Roman Empire from Germanic tribes.
    • Effects: Significant commercial and cultural exchanges also occurred along that boundary.

    Berlin Conference and African Partitioning

    • Partitioning of Africa: Unfamiliar internal regions of Africa. The process began in the late 19th century and involved the major European powers.
    • Limited African knowledge: The majority of the interior of Africa was poorly understood in the 19th century.

    Exploration and Conquest (1914-Present)

    • European rivalries: The competition for colonies created tension among European nations.
    • Berlin Conference (1884-1885): The goal was to prevent conflict over Africa's occupation or colonization.
    • 'Scramble for Africa': Driven by rivalries, it was a period of intensified competition for territory and resources in Africa leading to large-scale partition by European powers.
    • Commerce and exchange considerations: Abolition of the slave trade was a significant consideration.
    • Establishing borders on paper (cartographic borders): Establishing international borders by drawing lines on maps without considering local populations or realities.

    Border Between Two Koreas

    • Political division: The nations split following World War II and the Japanese surrender. The division was based on the influence of the Soviet Union (North Korea) vs. the United States (South Korea).
    • Conflict and conflict cessation: The Korean War (1950-1953) solidified the division and created a significantly militarized border. Despite an armistice, a full peace treaty wasn't established, so a constant state of tension remains.

    German-Polish Border (1939-1990)

    • Invasion and occupation: The German invasion of Poland during World War II dramatically altered international boundaries.
    • Alterations following World War II: The redrawing of boundaries, including the relocation/resettlement of populations and conflict resolution related to World War II.
    • Post-war borders: The borders were redefined after the war by territorial realignment, influencing populations and settlements.

    Cold War and German Division

    • Division of Germany: The German state divided into two states post-World War II into Soviet-influenced East Germany and the US/Western-influenced West Germany.
    • Berlin Wall: Built in 1961 as a division of Berlin post-World War II; a physical symbol and barrier between West and East, separating families and communities.
    • Fall of the Berlin Wall: The symbolic end of the Cold War. This led to German reunification.

    Law of the Sea

    • 71% of Planet Earth is ocean: The vast expanse of oceans.
    • International maritime law: Rules defining the zones of national jurisdiction over the seas, resources, and marine activities.
    • Treaty of Tordesillas (1494): Early agreement for dividing the sphere of influence between European powers in relation to colonization and the development of maritime rights.
    • International conventions and associated organizations: Conventions from 1958 onwards, including the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), provide a legal framework for regulating ocean activities and managing resources.
    • The implications of maritime territorial rules: These rules have a broad impact on trade, resource use, navigation, and even environmental protection, because they govern how nations interact with oceans.

    Maritime Territories and Jurisdictions

    • Territorial sea: An area adjacent to coastal states, where states have absolute sovereignty.
    • Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ): Allows states to exploit resources within the zone, with other states still having a certain degree of right to use these waters to navigate.
    • High Seas: Any part of the ocean that it is not under a national jurisdiction.

    Contemporary Border Disputes

    • East China Sea and South China Sea (relevant to territorial disputes): Claims to islands, resources, and sailing routes.
    • Specific examples of territorial disputes: Disputes may involve island territories, maritime territories such as Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs), and sometimes disagreements about the specific geographical borders dividing two states.
