International Boundaries
Jesse S. Reeves
This evening I am asking you to consider with me for a while the subject of international boundaries, which, by process involving many forces, has come have very important position in law. Ratzel, great German authority field political geography, said that “the mathematical precision boundaries is special characteristic higher civilization; progress geodesy and cartography permitted making Europe as well geographical abstractions.” employ term “boundary” rather than “frontier,” “frontier” used two senses: one, boundary; other, zone, narrower or wider, where one state ends another begins, which sometimes exact limit frontier never been exactly fixed.
