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
