Dan,
Further to Cindy’s suggestion may I suggest the TALOS Manual Ed 4, Special Publication No. 51, which can be accessed at:
Its bibliography is pretty comprehensive and may be useful to you.
Kindest Regards
Chris

Subject: [INT-BOUNDARIES] Maps and
Boundary Disputes in the 20th Century
Dear Colleagues,
I have been asked to prepare an essay (3,500 words) on cartography and boundary
disputes in the twentieth century. I have had some trouble locating
relevant authoritative and significant literature, especially books, as opposed
to journal articles. Much of what I have found is case-specific. I
am seeking analytic works that span many disputes.
I hope to develop several themes, including the use of maps to make or
reinforce claims, the role of maps in evolving boundary disputes, the influence
of maps in the discourse of a dispute (such as the borrowing of terms, like the
"green line"), and the use of cartography in dispute settlement (such
as at the ICJ or in negotiations). For instance, I have found journal
articles about particular disputes, like R. Johnson's "Negotiating the
Dayton Peace Accords through Digital Maps" and Keith Highet's
"Evidence, the Court, and the Nicaragua Case." There are a few
more general articles: Dennis Rushworth's "Mapping in Support of Frontier
Arbitration," Guenter Weissberg's "Maps as Evidence in International
Boundary Disputes: A Reappraisal," William B. Wood's "GIS as a Tool
for Territorial Negotiations," Gerald Blake's "The Depiction of
International Boundaries on Topographic Maps," and others. Do any of
you have suggestions for other sources that focus on cartography and boundary
disputes in the last century?
With gratitude for any help,
Dan Dzurek
