Identifying Boundaries and Conflict
undefined
UNIT 4 LESSON 2
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Student will be able to identify different
boundaries and how/why they are created in
various ways.
TWO CATEGORIES OF BOUNDARIES
Natural (physical) boundaries: based on recognizable
physiographic features such as mountains, rives, and lakes
(Getis, p. 304)
Artificial (geometric) boundaries: typically based on parallels
of latitude or meridians of longitude (Getis, p. 304).
ANTECEDENT BOUNDARY
Antecedent Boundary: drawn across an area before it was well
populated, before the cultural landscape developed (Getis, p.
304).
Example: Western U.S. and Canada, usually occurs based on
treaties. Washington & Montana existed before they were
heavily populated, so regions became distinct from Canada
Area right above it.
This is an artificial boundary that is also antecedent boundary
SUBSEQUENT BOUNDARIES (ALSO
“ARTIFICIAL”:
Subsequent Boundaries: drawn after the development of the
cultural landscape. Has two sub-sets:
Consequent Boundary: border drawn to accommodate existing
religious, linguistic, ethnic, or economic differences between
countries.
Example: Make the shape of the state actually reflect the different
cultural groups (keeping all the blue people together)
Superimposed Boundary: boundary forced upon people; often no
regard for cultural elements.
Example: Africa following the treaty of Berlin.
BOUNDARIES & CONFLICT
Boundaries are typically going to be a source of conflict.
Ethnic disputes and joining of ethnic groups
Resource allocation
Political consideration for security:
Nomadic groups
Immigrants
Student will be able to identify different boundaries such as natural and artificial, and understand how and why they are created. Explore antecedent and subsequent boundaries, along with their examples. Learn about the role of boundaries in conflicts due to ethnic disputes, resource allocation, and security concerns.
