This book, originally published in 1986, shows the importance of geography in international power politics and shows how geopolitical thought influences policy-making and action. It considers the various elements within international power politics such as ideologies, territorial competition and spheres of influences, and shows how geographical considerations are crucial to each element.

International Frontiers and Boundaries by J. R. John Robert Victor Prescott,Gillian Gillian Doreen Triggs Pdf
International frontiers and boundaries separate land, rivers and lakes subject to different sovereignties. Frontiers are "zones" of varying widths and they were common many centuries ago. By 1900 frontiers had almost disappeared and had been replaced by boundaries that are lines. The divisive nature of frontiers and boundaries has formed the focus of inter-disciplinary studies by economists, geographers, historians, lawyers and political scientists. Scholars from these disciplines have produced a rich literature dealing with frontiers and boundaries. The authors surveyed this extensive literature and the introduction reveals the themes which have attracted most attention. Following the introduction the book falls into three sections. The first section deals systematically with frontiers, boundary evolution and boundary disputes. The second section considers aspects of international law related to boundaries. It includes chapters dealing with international law and territorial boundaries, maps as evidence of international boundaries and river boundaries and international law. The third section consists of seven regional chapters that examine the evolution of boundaries in the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, islands off Southeast Asia and Antarctica.

Excerpt from Frontiers: A Study in Political Geography This essay originated as an expansion of an address on 'Frontiers' delivered to the Hampshire Branch of the Geographical Association at the University College of Southampton on November 19, 1915. The address, with many modifications, was repeated on March 15, 1916, at a meeting of the Bournemouth Natural Science Society. In both cases it was followed by some keen discussion and many questions. Since the beginning of the War two volumes on Frontiers have been published in this country - Professor L. W. Lyde's Some Frontiers of To-Morrow, and Sir T. H. Holdich's Political Frontiers and Boundary Making. The character of the former is indicated by its sub-title An Aspiration for Europe. The latter is a valuable contribution to the scanty literature of the subject, based on the wide experience its author has had on many boundary commissions, an experience which enables him to speak with authority on questions of boundary delimitation and demarkation. In its scope and treatment the present volume differs from both: it is intended to be a brief discussion of frontiers, rather than of boundaries, as geographical facts; and it aims at studying frontiers as they are and have been.

Boundaries, Territory and Postmodernity by David Newman Pdf
Contributions to this collection seek to determine the extent to which states and boundaries have, in fact, disappeared, or are simply changing their functions as we move from an era of fixed territories into a post-Westphalian territorial system. A group of international political geographers and political scientists examine the changing nature of the state, pointing to significant changes on the one hand, but equally noting the continued importance of territory and boundaries in determining the political ordering of the post-modern world.
