30 Nationalism In all of these fractured national geographies, neo-national identities are in the midst of political contest with their predecessors. Each predecessor views the new or new-old claimant as a threat to its own integrity, or even to its continued existence as a state.

31 Nationalism Neo-nationalism has come to mean violence, whereas it should mean mutual recognition and new opportunity. “Velvet divorces”, as between Slovakia and the Czech Republic, or successful new federal solutions are rare. Other notable locations with neo-nationalist movements include Scotland, Japan, Denmark, Poland, and Yugoslavia, although the United Nations estimates that only 25 of its 192 members are free from secessionist disputes.

32 Nationalism Case Studies –Quebec –Western Alienation –Scotland –Wales

33 Border Terminology Physical borders are actual walls, gates, or other tangible barriers dividing political divisions. On the other hand, theoretical borders are those that exist on paper alone and often just follow lines of latitude or longitude and are not marked on the ground.

34 Border Terminology The Great Wall of China: A Physical Border

35 Border Terminology A similar concept is real v. perceived borders. Real borders are those that do exist - whether physical or theoretical. Perceived borders are those which one or more people feel exist but are not actually there. The latter may affect people just as a real border would but nonetheless are not there.

36 Border Terminology The next type of borders have had significant affect in Canada. Temporal borders refers to the timing of the creation of the border. –Antecedent borders are those placed down where no development has previously occurred. –Superimposed borders are those placed down irrespective of any existing settlement.

37 Border Terminology The last set of terms when referring to borders are lines and regions. Border lines are those of small, finite widths that are knowingly crossed. Border regions are areas of indefinite width surrounding a border line. The width may vary significantly depending on many variables including population, geography, and political stability.

38 Border Terminology Political exclaves are small areas of land belonging to one jurisdiction yet completely surrounded by another.
