“…Geospatial products, and maps in particular, are powerful tools of communication between scientists and policymakers in security matters. Maps are used to display features of high relevance for security (Hay 2003). Even in digital format, maps act as visual communication tools that help in the interpretation of data and strengthen the message delivered through text (Denisov, Folgen, Rucevska, and Simonett 2005).…”

The objective of this literature review is to understand where Graphical Information Systems (GIS) can be useful to address security issues and how it has been used until now. While the geographic drivers of territorial conflicts have been extensively described by a number of political studies, the quantitative analysis of these drivers is quite new. This study traces an evolution from conceptual research to quantitative development. It then discusses the advantages and challenges of applying new geographic techniques to analyze spatial drivers of conflict. We identify the main spatial components in conflict and security, the existing types of information/data and the quantitative methods used. We describe the spatial component of security by looking at: (i) the main sociopolitical concepts linked to territory, (ii) the kind of geographic concepts linked to territory, (iii) measures used to describe such geographic concepts; and (iv) the issues raised in any attempt to integrate geographic concepts into a GIS. We conclude that GIS tools can be useful in the analysis of civil disputes, particularly where subnational level data exists. This paper shows that spatial processing tools in GIS allow us to represent some spatial components and to address new issues such as the fuzzy complexity of border permeability.

“…Definiranje njenih meja, geopolitičnih prioritet in zavezništev bo močno poudarilo njeno sposobnost prinašanja lastne teže v svetovni red«, sporoča Thomann, znanstveni svetovalec za geopolitiko in geostrategijo v Evropskem inštitutu za mednarodne odnose v Bruslju (Thomann 2010). Geopolitika je evropska prvina in večina definicij Evrope izhaja iz zgodovinskega pregleda geopolitike (Hay 2003). Se je današnja Evropa znebila logike in filozofije frontirjev in mejišč?…”

Pregledni znanstveni članek COBISS 1.02Izvleček V svetu je sorazmerno malo državnih teritorialnih meja, ki bi imele le lokalni, meddržavni značaj. Avtor skuša ob Braudelovem zapisu, da »... pokrajina ni referenčni okvir raziskovanja, temveč je referenčni okvir raziskovanja le problem«, analizirati pomen slovensko-hrvaške državne meje z vidika politične geografije vmesnosti balkanske Evrope ter robnega in kontaktnega položaja teritorijev obeh držav, pri čemer njuna državna meja ostaja brez pomena in funkcije.Ključne besede: Balkan, mejišče, imperijski teritorialni sistem, frontirizacija, EU, Rusija, Turčija STATE TERRITORIAL BOUNDARY AT THE EDGE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION: FRONTIERISATION OF SLOVENIA-CROATIA TERRITORY AbstractThere are relatively few of state territorial boundaries in the world being of only local, interest. Author tries, following Braudel's note that »lanscape is not referential framework of research but the referential framwork of research is only problem«, to analyse importance of Slovenia-Croatia state boundary. He does it through the political-geographic prism of betweenness of the Balkan's Europe that is of edge and contact position of territories of both countries, for what the state boundary looses both its importance and function.

“…Geopolitics is about 'the influence of geography on states' political character, their history, institutions and especially relations with other states' (Hay 2003). The version of geopolitics considered here is not only about the great powers-its traditional bias-but also about secondary powers.…”

The Nordic–Baltic Area: Divisive Geopolitics at Work

States in the Nordic-Baltic area reacted heterogeneously to the Iraq War operation: Denmark chose to participate; Iceland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania supported the operation diplomatically or materially; whereas Norway, Finland and Sweden were negative. The research tool used to explain this pattern is the parsimonious theory of 'past and present geopolitics', taking issue with systemic neorealism, primarily. In spite of official rhetoric emphasizing Baghdad or New York (the UN), states' driving forces were mainly found in their different salient environments. The primary explanation, proximate power balancing, was at work regarding Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Iceland, with no big neighbour, could enjoy profit bandwagoning, while Sweden and Finland followed 'standard operating procedures'. A minor aberration from expectations is noted regarding Finland: its EU balancing rather than US balancing of Russia. The Norwegian 'no' and Danish warfare were both an expression of geopolitical freedom of manoeuvre.
