![]() ![]() Hartshorne has books and papers that discusses the matter of borders, namely, Geographic and Political Boundaries in Upper Silesia (not my posting), where he puts these concepts to practice, but doesn’t use all of the terminology (superimposed, relic, and consequent are omitted). But since there isn’t, I did some digging on JSTOR. ![]() My suggestion to College Board is that we are linked (URL) to the direct academic journal articles where the concepts originate (think Hartshorne, Malthus, von Thunen, and Ravenstein) to cut down on some of these confusions. I’ve got the internet, I can look up these definitions.Ĭan someone help me differentiate between consequent and subsequent boundaries? I can’t seem to draw a line between them. How do you all explain the differences between antecedent, subsequent, and consequent boundaries? These just seem unnecessarily confusing. All the other AP human teachers I work with are also stumped (since they don’t really teach the CED, only Rubenstein). The AMSCO only has subsequent and every other book I look in has one or the other and the definitions appear to be almost the same. New AP teacher here…I’m really confused about the difference between subsequent and consequent borders. “Are subsequent and consequent boundaries the same?”Īnother contributor acknowledging the confusion between texts: And where did this word come from anyway!? The new Course Description also picked it up.Īnd I wasn’t the only one with questions… Over 15 years and many sources later, some textbook threw in CONSEQUENT into the list and messed up my whole world order. borders that use a constructed barrier to prevent the flow of people or things the border between North and South Korea would also work here, but any border that includes a wall, fence, net, or wire.the militarized border between North and South Korea. borders that are guarded by military forces i.e.borders that are unguarded and can easily be traversed without political intervention think countries within the European Union.The other border terms not yet addressed can be types of borders that fall under both the standard classifications (physical, cultural, or geometric) or under Hartshorn’s. To me, the purpose of the two classifications is to differentiate between what the border is vs. I use a bunch of case studies to beef up their application. In other words, this guy has some serious geo-clout.Īfter that, I go on to explain how all of the world’s borders fall under the standard PHYSICAL/CULTURAL/GEOMETRIC POLITICAL or the GENETIC boundaries. He was president of the AAG and received the Victoria medal from the Royal Geographical Society. Hartshorne was an American political and economic geographer, working out of U. physical borders that no longer act at functioning political borders, and yet evidence of the border is still there think the Great Wall of China or the Berlin Wall.borders that are forced upon the landscape by an outside authority think European imperialism and Africa circa 1914.war or cultural differences between groups. boundaries that are created after human settlement and interaction with the landscape, i.e.natural boundaries that existed before human involvement, i.e.His four GENETIC (EVOLUTIONARY) boundaries include: The person we credit this to is Richard Hartshorne. Though there is no reason that the cause for political boundaries should exclude economic, political, and other social difference.Īnd from everything that I’de read up to that point, textbooks discuss another way to look at boundaries, and that is how they evolve over time. These typically include language, religion, & ethnic homogeneities. boundaries that use cultural divisions as the basis for a political border.These include mountains, rivers, deserts, valleys, jungles. boundaries that use natural (physical) features which act as political borders.There are two ways that we can describe contemporary boundaries: So, I tried my best to make sense of it all and this was the way that I’ve taught it for a long time… ![]()
