Description
As renewed great-power competition places territory back at the centre of international affairs, borders are once again shaping global politics.
In The Geography of Power: Borderlines, the first of a two-part series, CNA explores why some borders become flashpoints, others remain frozen and some continue to evolve through diplomacy and compromise. Through on-the-ground reporting, expert analysis and personal accounts, the series reveals that borders are not simply lines on a map - they are expressions of power, memory and national ambition.
From the South China Sea and the Mekong River to Cyprus, Kaliningrad, Gibraltar and Northern Ireland, this episode examines the history, politics and human stories behind some of the world's most significant frontiers, revealing how they continue to influence sovereignty, identity and international relations.
