Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Who decided where one country ends and another begins Look at a world map and the borders seem permanent. Some follow rivers or mountains, others run in perfectly straight lines, and a few divide islands, towns and even individual buildings. But how did these boundaries come into existence, and why have so many survived the empires, wars and governments that created them The Border on a Map explores the remarkable history of how the world came to be divided into countries. From ancient frontiers and imperial expansion to colonial partitions, independence movements and modern territorial disputes, Marcus Ellery explains the political decisions, geographical challenges and legal agreements behind the lines we see today. Discover why rivers can create complicated boundaries, how surveyors locate invisible lines across remote landscapes, why some countries possess enclaves surrounded by foreign territory, and how international law determines sovereignty over contested land and islands. The book also examines the people living along borders, the institutions responsible for maintaining them, and the peaceful methods through which countries resolve territorial disagreements. Combining history, geography, politics and international law, this accessible account reveals that national borders are neither inevitable features of nature nor merely lines drawn on paper. Every border has a history. This is the story of how those histories became the map of our world.
