I havee been following the subject of an International Workshop at the Ben
Gurion University, in the next March.
It looks that the idea of a change in the Geopolitics at the End of the 20th
Century is going to a "Desappearing Borders" in the new Globalized World, as
it is seen in a "Borderless Europe", in near future.
I think this is a nonsense.
"The first boundary was traced on the ground by the first being that
understood his position in face of his neighbor's. From individual property
it passed to the collective sovereignty, i.e. to the household, from the
household to the city, from the city to the province, and from the province
to the country. Everything has limits, lanes, fences, walls or some other
designation that defines the characteristics of the material possessions, of
some being, be that a man or a social entity."(Castillos Goycochea).
Making a retrospective analysis over History, it is possible to verify that
the concept of Territory, such as it is understood today, only came to be
used a little less than 300 years ago. Until then, the nations would define
their territories by the land over which their governments could exert their
sovereignties.
Boundaries and Borders are changging through the Centuries, but they will be
necessary all the time.
As a statement to this research, "which needs not be longer than about one
or two pages", I invite you to read my article:
