The Geography of Border Landscapes - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Recent political events, particularly in Eastern Europe, have underlined the significance of international political boundaries. Manifestations of political control displayed in the landscape demonstrate clearly the linkage between geography and politics. This analysis provides insights into border landscapes and regions in an attempt to further our understanding of cultural landscapes. The contributors draw upon divergent geographical traditions and cover many different border regions in Asia, the Far East, Europe, Africa and the Americas. They deal both with the problems of contemporary international boundary conflicts and the historical evolution of border landscapes. New approaches and directions in defining and elaborating the border landscape concept are explored, and the impact of political decision-making and ideological differences on the environment in border areas is examined.
