delimitations. For the future, there may be a shift of
emphasis from delimitation questions to functional
problems, from the boundary line to borderlands.
Geographers can contribute much to understanding
the dynamics of borders and borderlands, to ensure
that borderlands develop as regions of opportunity
and not zones of deprivation. None of this implies
that the geographical community is either for or
against boundaries as we have known them; as long
as they are there, we wish them to be managed as
peacefully as possible.
