"In our time of wars, of national self-conceit, of national jealousies
and hatreds ably nourished by people who pursue their own egotistic,
personal or class interests, geography must be - in so far as the
school may do anything to counterbalance hostile influences - a means
of dissipating these prejudices and of creating other feelings more
worthy of humanity.” Peter Kropotkin, 'What geography ought to be', 1885.

>Dear International Boundaries community,

>introduce themselves and their interest in the subject of international
>boundaries. So here goes:
>
>My name is Evan Centanni, and I run a website called Political Geography
>Now (www.polgeonow.com). The website features maps and accessible
>summaries of events in world political geography - specifically, I
>report on any changes to the location, status, and control of
>international boundaries and territories, both de jure (officially
>recognized or claimed) and de facto ("on the ground"). The idea is to
>provide a place for casual geography lovers to stay up to date, while at
>the same time offering maps that may be useful or interesting even to
>those who are already well informed. I currently operate the website on
>my own, though I'm interested in collaborating with others in the
>future, so if you would like to contribute and have some ideas, let me
>know!
>
>As for my personal background, I graduated with a B.A. in International
>Studies from the University of Oregon in the U.S., and I currently live
>in Taiwan. Although my degree is related to both geography and
>international politics, a lot of my knowledge and skills are self-
>taught. I've always been fascinated by maps, and political maps
>especially. I also have a modest amount of international travel under my
>belt, though I still have over 170 countries to go....
>
>I guess that's all. Looking forward to more interesting discussions!
