All Flashcards
What are antecedent boundaries?
Boundaries drawn before significant settlement.
What are subsequent boundaries?
Boundaries drawn after settlement, based on cultural differences.
What are relic boundaries?
Boundaries that no longer exist but are still visible on the landscape.
What are consequent boundaries?
Boundaries that align with cultural boundaries.
What are superimposed boundaries?
Boundaries imposed by outside powers, ignoring existing cultural patterns.
What are militarized boundaries?
Heavily guarded boundaries that are difficult to cross.
What are open boundaries?
Boundaries that are free to cross.
Explain the concept of territoriality.
The idea that people, their culture, and their economic systems are connected to the land they inhabit.
What is the significance of boundary demarcation?
It physically marks the boundary, making it more visible and easier to recognize, potentially reducing disputes.
What is the impact of superimposed boundaries on cultural landscapes?
They often lead to conflict and instability because they ignore existing cultural patterns and divisions.
Compare natural and geometric boundaries.
Natural boundaries use physical features; geometric boundaries are straight lines or arcs.
Compare antecedent and subsequent boundaries.
Antecedent boundaries are drawn before settlement; subsequent boundaries are drawn after settlement.
Compare relic and superimposed boundaries.
Relic boundaries no longer exist; superimposed boundaries are imposed by outside powers.
Compare militarized and open boundaries.
Militarized boundaries are heavily guarded; open boundaries are free to cross.
Compare cultural and economic boundaries.
Cultural boundaries are based on cultural differences; economic boundaries are based on economic factors.
Compare defined and delimited boundaries.
Defined boundaries are established by a legal document; delimited boundaries are drawn on a map.
Compare consequent and cultural boundaries.
Consequent boundaries align with existing cultural divisions, while cultural boundaries are the divisions themselves.
Compare the impact of natural vs. geometric boundaries on political stability.
Natural boundaries may offer more inherent stability due to physical barriers, while geometric boundaries can create artificial divisions leading to conflict.
Compare the enforcement of militarized vs. open boundaries.
Militarized boundaries require significant resources and personnel for enforcement, while open boundaries require minimal enforcement.
Compare the effects of antecedent vs. superimposed boundaries on cultural cohesion.
Antecedent boundaries are less likely to disrupt cultural cohesion than superimposed boundaries, which often disregard existing cultural patterns.
