Preferred term
boundary making and boundary disputes
Definition(s)
- Although marking and disputing territory date back to premodern tribes, the formal study of boundary making and boundary disputes came of age in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as the number of sovereign states and colonial territorial possessions multiplied. With them came thousands of miles of new borders that had to be sorted out, affixed, defended, and policed. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Boundary Making and Boundary Disputes]
