The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Notes: The paper engages in a cross-disciplinary examination of the concept of borders. After considering its several connotations in law, geography, and linguistics, it focuses on their interrelations with territory. It then considers how their meaning has evolved over time, thus reflecting the cognitive way whereby political power has tried to superimpose on them its own conception on the world. It then discusses the impact of cross-disciplinary research on comparative-law taxonomies (such as territorial constitution and litigation, territorial demarcation, and alteration), as well of how non-legal variables have some bearing on the operational rule of bordering processes.
