Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Political Frontiers and Boundary Making Amongst the very scanty literature which exists on the subjects of international boundaries I can find no authoritative opinion based on practical experience. Certain eminent writers have set forth an academic ideal which is usually resting on the assumption that the civilised world has already attained to a cultured eminence which admits of a purely artificial line of separation as sufficient for nations, who are, or should be, anxious to assimilate one with another and to dwell in bonds of mutual goodwill and international brotherhood. Thus Professor Lyde, of the London University, dealing with types of political frontiers in Europe, lays it down that three points are of vital importance in deciding on the position of a frontier: (1) The racial unit should as far as possible coincide with the geographical unit, especially if that racial unit has proved incapable of assimilation. (2) That in choosing a new political owner of any inhabited area, first consideration should be given to the capacity of the new owner to assimilate others. (3) That the features used for a frontier should be those where men naturally meet - "which is not on water partings or mountain crests."
