A centripetal force unifies while a centrifugal force divides
Having a federal government is centripetal because otherwise, it could be hard to govern every place, especially if a place is far away. It is also centrifugal because giving regional power creates the danger of devolution and succession
Neocolonialism is centrifugal because it creates reliance between the colonizing and colonized country
The environment of an area can be centrifugal. The Sahel region is ungoverned, has ethnic conflicts, and has poverty. This makes it easy for terrorists to attack
Shatterbelts are centrifugal and put stress from fighting countries onto neighboring states
Centripetal- unifying features (flag, song, pledge of allegiance) strong identity based on culture
Centrifugal- deep religious differences, language differences, internal boundary conflicts
Territoriality - creating ownership over defined space (bedroom, country, personal space)
Brings emotional response
Persian Gulf War 1990s
WWII Germany Invasions
Territoriality creates a sense of control, and sovereignty, over a place. States may demonstrate this territoriality through features (walls, borders, flags, laws, religion)
invades
Devolution- transfer of power from central gov’t to regional gov’t within a state
Hong Kong -
originally British colony handed off to China
put up wall
Hong Kong wants ind.
China wants to erase the border
own rights and autonomy until 2047
Gotton less eco. powerful, so Chine tolerates less
speak Cantonese not mandarin
identify as HK
umbrella mvmt → fight back
Impacts:
Multiple nations in one state
conflict from different cultures and languages
split up into republics
Croatia and Serbia shatterbelt
cultural/ethnic border
administer borders
shows devolution
Quebec mostly French
speak french
Centrifugal forces are present in Quebec, whereas the free-trade agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico challenges the Canadian government’s independence on a national level
Both examples challenge sovereignty at the national level because the Canadian government is not able to exercise complete control in either circumstance: an independent Quebec would arise as a result of devolutionary forces as Canada would lose all control over the region. Canada must work together with Mexico and the United States as a part of a free-trade agreement that is intended to benefit all countries involved
UNCLOS - Code of maritime law
territorial seas - sovereignty in 12 nautical miles
contiguous zone - limited sovereignty in 24 nm
Exclusive Economic Zone - resource extraction in 200 nm
High Seas - beyond 200 nm
UNCLOS authorizes 12nm and 200nm of territorial waters and EEZ as maximums. Since there isn’t a clear-cut boundary, there could be disagreements over how to interpret the boundaries. Also, when bodies of water are between countries, there could be tension because it has to be split evenly among them
The South China Sea has many resources (fisheries, gas, oil), is in the “backyard“ of the U.S., and provides trade to E Asia. Multiple countries have claims to this region and show conflict and territoriality
China has a historical claim because of naval expeditions (9 dash line), but the EEZ of different countries overlap
Airstrips, air defense zones, and building bases are all ways countries show their influence. China is ignoring other claims
Reusing my work from my concept paragraph lol
Territory in the Arctic is valuable because it provides ocean access, shipping routes, and resources (oil + natural gas), so northern countries such as Canada, Greenland/Denmark, Russia, USA, Norway, and Iceland have all claimed territory there
Problems with border
Russia has strong territoriality over the Arctic
Supranational - alliances of multiple states/countries
They take away some sovereignty because all members have to abide by the regulations of the supranational organization
→ Less control over tariffs, currency, borders, engaging in war
However, they unite for a political, economic, military, or environmental goal that is hard to achieve independently
→ Having more allies, protection, helping the environment, selling more goods
Benefits
Drawbacks
Schengen Area - “meh“ borders, no border officers, stroll from countries
Eurozone - creates free trade and common currency
