Political Boundaries and Conflicts Boundaries

Political Boundaries and Conflicts Boundaries refer to physical or psychologically established separations, which mark the ends of agreeable operations and internalities within two or more nations. Every country in the world has its own boundary in the partition, which marks the geological exemplification from one country to another. For instance, the United States of America has boundaries, which separate it from its neighboring countries like Mexico. Germany is a nation with boundaries and shows the end of its geographical dominance with its neighboring countries.

Any nation has boundaries and possible most of which are politically instilled. For instance, rivaling political parties exhibit political boundaries, which denote the depth of their political dominance in the region. Still between two or more countries, political boundaries are bound to exist. For instance, two conflicting nations, as it was the case with Palestine and Israel, a political boundary led to the creation of Israel. Conflicts relating to political boundaries are politically instigated in most cases.

Ideological differences existing between two or more nations like Palestine and Israel may ruin the current cohesive boundaries and further generation of political boundary conflicts. Research question This research paper is premised on the question, "How political boundary conflicts occur across the globe and what effect does it have on the general human living?" Discussion There are many disburses of boundary-related wars, which have resulted from political inclinations. They have reached the boundary separations between conflicting groups.

The physical boundaries as rivers and oceans have often been known to cause disputes in and outside of any nation. Boundary separations are structures, which are meant to keep peace and cohesive existence between different groups of people while in and out of duty (Mitchell 23-63). The constitutional and legal separations between two individuals translates to the existence of boundaries in the world. Nonetheless, the difference between the separated entities gets insinuated with the methodologies and concepts used to create the separation patterns.

In many cases, boundaries have been taken to mean diverse meanings. The literal meaning depicts a boundary as anything, which indicates a limit or bound. The existence of political or boundary delimitations involves political boundaries, which have been determined by the use of fabricated features like walls, fences, and many others. This is as happening between the United States of America and Mexico. In such a case, the boundary has been established politically, through either a signed treaty or a forceful endeavor.

In some other cases, a boundary can exist in terms of demarcations. In such a case, boundaries exist without any physical separation. This has been used between Oman and Saudi Arabia. Such cases of boundaries are easily disrupted. They can result in fighting between the two nations or communities bordering each other and belonging to two different nations. Disputes have also been reported in the Abyei region between South and North Sudan resulting in perennial civil strife.

The disputed Abyei between South and North Sudan Disputes erupt when two or more nations disagree about a given boundary or on other ideologies and opinions. The demarcation procedures are often liable to result in disputes. In some cases, Saudi Arabia and Oman have been forced to coexist with rampant conflicts due to the nature of boundary, which separates them. The inexistence of physical marking causes conflicts between the nations. Nonetheless, the agreements taken by the two nations can still be of sound importance so that no dispute erupts (Parodi 87).

They derive their relation to the ownership of the natural resources like fertile farmlands, rivers, oil and mineral resources, and other materials and riches. The existence of cultural, ethnic and other human-related features play a role in creating boundary disputes. This means that numerous features are known to drive boundary disputes. Many of these boundaries are set up by unreasonable differences such as the difference in the language spoken by the conflicting groups.

These disputes are the chief causes of war among different communities and between different nations in the world. Terrorism cases have resulted between disputing nations or communities. For instance, sovereignty bind nations to a level that they often would wish to affirm their sovereignty through invading other territories (Fleishman 56). This also involves the influence of non-state entities, which can participate in insinuating politicians into engaging in wars and other forms of conflicts between nations as terrorisms.

According to the existing international laws, no single state should engage in forceful invasion of another country's boundary. This in itself spells how sovereign and independent states separated by political boundaries are strong. According to the UN charter, "All member s shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use...or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations." This charter determines the strength of the boundaries separating two or more nations.

Nonetheless, many nations have broken this law and engaged in forceful attacks of other nations despite their sovereignty. The nature of the boundaries has all the possibility to influence conflicts between any two or more nations. For instance, when the boundary is not demarcated, the states, which exist between these boundaries, are supposed to uphold their agreement details or else engage in boundary political wars. With demarcation, there is no legitimacy on any agreement of the international boundary.

Thereby, such kinds of boundaries are prone to solve no issue when it comes to political boundary conflicts. There is an ongoing strife in the demarcated Ladakh plateau and Kashmir between India and Pakistan. The disputed Kashmir of India and Pakistan Political boundaries and conflicts have been in existence for a number of years now. The long overdue example is that which existed between Israel and Palestine. In the year 1948, Israel was established as a sovereign nation from Palestine.

Many Palestinians did not like this scenario because they wanted their land to remain intact. Many Palestinians had been living in this place for a long period. Before the settlement of Palestinians in this region, it is said that Israel had dominated this area since it had a number of Arab states. When the war erupted due to political influences, Israel managed to seize part of the land from Palestine. For instance, some parts of the land which was politically seized included the Gaza strip, and the Golan Heights.

Moreover, the Sinai Peninsula was also captured from the nearby Arab nations. These nations were not happy about what Israel had done. Initially, the nations sought to politically annihilated Israel as a country. Ever since Israel was established, it has been trying to extent part of its land. Scorching disputes erupted and led to the establishment of conflicts between these nations, a conflict that has remained up to today.

After much of the politics, which were influenced by political movements and changes between the two nations, Sinai Peninsula was returned to Egypt. Since then, Israel has not been in any good terms with other nations, most of which are the neighboring nations. Every change of power and political alienations bring fresh claims and disputes which results in frequent wars. Israel has all the right to have established itself and existed among the other nations (Harvey 96).

The political movements, which tried to oppose Israel birth, were wrong since Israel had all right to exist. Although the nations who had to surrender part of their land to Israel had all the capacity to argue for it to be returned, they were forced to succumb to the political power that Israel had by then. Diagram on how Israel has been able to engage in political boundary conflicts to a magnitude of almost acquiring most of the land from Palestine, between 1946 and 2000.

Political boundary disputes are also a generation of the political movements in the world. Politics entails integration of the people's opinions, wishes, and cries, into a political urgency, which can then be motivated into an action for future or immediate change. In most cases, local conflicts among nations have extended to political movements that have affected other nations. Boundaries, most of which are established by the political forces, are directed at serving the interests of the immediate countries.

Such political forces have made nations try to shift their territories into other nation's boundaries. This often accompanies directives and strategies to obtain resources and materials as oil and other natural resources. Resultant effects Political boundaries and conflicts have affected the society largely. The eruption and continuation of wars is a major setback the world has suffered since the resurgence of political boundaries in the world. The continued strife between Israel and Palestine is just but a commemoration of the birth of political boundary conflicts.

Conflicts result from the fact that when ideological differences persist, they result in strife among people. Politics keep changing in various nations. Agreements are made through treaties. However, these nations signing treaties are again common in engaging with political boundary conflicts. Conclusion Political boundary conflicts serve various roles in the global human existence. Conflicts are not regarded as the right way of solving disputes between nations or communities. As such, boundary.
