Why study political geography? Reminder:

Formation of nation states: Sovereign political (power) control of a specific territory Max Weber: state has the monopoly on the legitmate use of force (police, bankruptcy code) Charles Tilly: comparison with the street gant: taxation, protection of territory from rival gangs, resolution of disputes – “keeping order”

Europa Virgo, cca 1550, S. Münster Pre-Westphalia: Power of local noblemen Church outside of regular jurisdiction Permeable borders City-states

Modern (nation) state Peace of Westphalia, 1648 Sovereignty State interest Groundbreaking in relations between political power and territory

State as the main analytical unit (map from 1870)

Dark side of nationalism:

National identity Debate about necessary traits: Common language? Common history? Common territory? Common government? Common culture? Common ancestry? Common religion?

Anthony D. Smith – conditions for birth of a nation: Fixed homeland (current or historical) High autonomy Hostile surroundings Memories of battles Sacred centers Languages and scripts Special customs Historical records and thinking

Formation of nations When? End of 18th century? From France? From America? Ernest Gellner – Nations and Nationalism (1983) – need for standardization, industrial revolution “The project of nationalism creates the nation.” Miroslav Hroch: On the Brink of Nation’s Existence. Praha: MF 1999. Nationalism before industrial revolution

Benedict Anderson (*1936) Imagined Communities (1983) Paradoxes: Why is nationalism so emotionally and politicallly powerful? Marxism vs. nacionalism Universal concept of naiton vs. particular nation Political power vs. conceptually vague Modern nations vs. long historical memory

Benedict Anderson (*1936) Imagined Communities (1983) Importance of symbolic construction, fiction "an imagined political community [that is] imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign” no face to face interactions capitalism, printing press, diverse languages

Nationalism and political geography Conflict over territory with other nations, symbolic reasons, ethnic cleansing. One political government for all members of one “nation”.

Nacionalism and political geography Self-determination of nations v. terrorism Change of borders vs. protection of territorial integrity? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_separatist_movement s

Practical problems with self-determination 1917 – Woodrow Wilson – it will ensure peace - Czechoslovakia? Kosovo vs. Abkhazia and South Ossetia Kurdistan - Who has the right to declare independence? What should be the criteria?
