Slide1

States & Their Shapes

Territorial Morphology - The study of states, their shapes, and the impacts.Slide2

How does the shape of a state affects its functioning?

Things to Consider:

How is communication within the country affected?

Where is the capital?

Is there access to resources like water for trade?

Is the country isolated from other countries?

Are there regions within the country isolated from the rest of the country?Slide3

Things to Consider:How is communication within the country affected?

Where is the capital?

Is there access to resources like water for trade?

Is the country isolated from other countries?

Are there regions within the country isolated from the rest of the country?Slide4

Compact States

A state

where the distance from the center to any boundary does not vary significantly

Ideal compact state would be a circle with the capital in the center

Allows for good communications from all regionsEx’s Bhutan Burundi

,

Suriname, Kenya

, UgandaSlide5

Things to Consider:How is communication within the country affected?

Where is the capital?

Is there access to resources like water for trade?

Is the country isolated from other countries?

Are there regions within the country isolated from the rest of the country?Slide6

Prorupted States (Protruded)

An

otherwise compact state with a large projecting extension

Proruptions

are created for 2 reasons

To provide a state with access to a resource such as water (Congo stretches to Atlantic Ocean) (why Cabinda is separated from the rest of Angola)

To separate two states that would otherwise share a border (Afghanistan separates

Tajikistan from

Pakistan) Slide7

Things to Consider:How is communication within the country affected?

Where is the capital?

Is there access to resources like water for trade?

Is the country isolated from other countries?

Are there regions within the country isolated from the rest of the country?Slide8

Elongated States

States

with a long narrow shape

Only a handful of these

Ex. Chile – over 2500 miles long, but only 90 miles wide

Italy is a less extreme example 700 by 120 miles

Gambia is an elongated state on an East-West orientation (300 miles wide by15 miles long) by that is completely surrounded by

Senegal

Other examplesMalawi, VietnamSlide9

Things to Consider:How is communication within the country affected?

Where is the capital?

Is there access to resources like water for trade?

Is the country isolated from other countries?

Are there regions within the country isolated from the rest of the country?Slide10

Fragmented States

A state

with several discontinuous pieces of territory

Technically, any state that has offshore islands is considered fragmented – fragmentation is particularly significant for some states

2 types:

Areas separated by

water

UK, Who Else?

Areas separated by an intervening stateBrunei, Oman, Who Else?Slide11

The Tin Bingha CorridorSlide12

Things to Consider:How is communication within the country affected?

Where is the capital?

Is there access to resources like water for trade?

Is the country isolated from other countries?

Are there regions within the country isolated from the rest of the country?Slide13

Perforated States

A

state that completely surrounds another one

Italy

is another exampleIt completely surrounds

San Marino and the VaticanSlide14

Enclaves and ExclavesA territorial

enclave

is a state, or part of a state,

surrounded completely

by another state.Lesotho is an enclave territory surrounded by South Africa.

When an enclave is land that is a political extension

of another

state, then it is called an exclave

.Alaska is an exclave of the United States because it is cut off from the rest of the country by Canada.Enclave’s can be ethnic as well as politicalExamples?Slide15

Shapes of States

Shape of a state controls the length of its boundaries with other states

Shape also can influence the ease or difficulty of internal administration and can affect social unity

There are 5 basic shapes:

Compact

Prorupted

(Protruded)

Elongated

FragmentedPerforatedSlide16

Landlocked States

A

state that lacks a direct outlet to the sea because it is completely surrounded by several other countries

14 out of the 54 countries in Africa are

landlockedOnly Lichtenstein and Uzbekistan are doubly landlocked in the world.

Access

to a seaport is critical because it facilitates international trade

Bulky goods are usually transported by shipLandlocked states are at the mercy of other states for the use of their seaportsSlide17

Practice Questions

A Nation-State is most often defined by its twin attributes of sovereignty and

Religious Tolerance

Social Democracy

Ethnic Homogeneity

Economic Prosperity

A Strong Anti-terrorist policy

Spain

colonized much of Central and South America, yet in the 19th century, the end result of these

efforts wasa war between Spain and its territories in North Africaa war between Central America and the largest nations in South America

a

series of government strikes in Spain and Portugal

a

series of revolutionary movements in Central and South America

the unification

of Spain’s Central American and South

American coloniesSlide18

Western imperialist policies of the 20th and 21st centuries have been

most deeply influenced

by

South

African imperialismBelgian imperialism

German

imperialism

Portuguese

imperialismBritish imperialismThe largest number of landlocked states are found in

Africa. East Asia.the Middle East.

Southeast Asia.

South America.Slide19

Complete the following analogy:

a compact state is to circular as

a

prorupted

state is to extended.

a perforated state is to pierced.

an elongated state is to narrow

fragmented state is to pieces.

All of the above are correct

.Which country controlled the most colonial territory in 1914?United States

Japan

Germany

France

United Kingdom
