how are boundaries created:
1. defined
wording of where the boundary will be
2. delimited (delinate)
drawing of a boundary on map by cartography
3. demarcated
actually physically creating the boundary with fences, posts, etc
4. administered
day to day boundary operation
three factors that contributed to creation of borders
1. latitude and longitude lines
2. natural factors
3. cultural factors (language, religion, ethnicity)
types of boundaries
antecedent boundaries
boundaries created before the present day cultural landscape developed
subsequent boundaries
border put in after a border was already established
example: berlin wall and ireland//northern ireland
superimposed boundaries
stuff 1
, relic boundaries
consequent boundaries
boundary disputes
location: arise when the border is not questioned but the interpretation of the
border is
mississippi river shifts and the original intention of the boundary is called
into question
operational disputes
occur when two countries next to each other disagree on a major issue
involving the border
US and mexico disagree over illegal immigration
both sides agree on but cannot agree on how to handle the border
allocational disputes
question use of border in relation to a type of natural resource
when an aquifer extends across a boundary, who has the dominant right of
the water?
defintional disputes
arise from the legal language of the treaty’s definition of a boundary
usually one country sues another country in the International Court of
Justice
e.g. Beagle conflict
solving boundary disputes
united national law of the sea (UNCLOS)
states can extend their boundaries offshore (which can lead to conflict)
foreign nations can’t have their military or other ships travel within 12
nautical miles of the coast of another country
EEZ (exclusive economic zones) - countries have the right to explore for
resources 200 nautical miles of their shores
