National boundaries Limits of sovereignty Three-dimensional 14 miles of ocean; 200 miles of fishing rights Frontier zones vs. boundaries

“Natural” or physical boundaries Mountains –Often a barrier anyway –Ridgeline or watershed? Rivers or lakes –Not always stable; which side? –Can unite as well as divide

“Artificial” or cultural boundaries Geometric –Parallels or meridians –Typically sparsely settled Religious or linguistic –Criteria for dividing states

Antecedent vs. subsequent Antecedent: drawn before dense settlement Subsequent: after cultural landscape is established –Consequent: take landscape into account –Superimposed: no regard for cultural landscape

Boundaries as sites of conflict Landlocked states Water as boundary Rivers across boundaries Nations not matching state boundaries Resource access or use

Internal state structure Core area: historical center –Densest population, largest cities –Most economically developed Ex.: Moscow, London, eastern U.S. Not found in all countries

Unitary vs. federal states Unitary: highly centralized, homogeneous –Strong national identity –Centralization in core area –European cores, newly independent states

Unitary vs. federal states Federal: decentralized government –Provinces or states have considerable responsibility –Capital often deliberately created in core, or periphery
