Abstract
This essay sets out to utilise two classic works of boundary scholarship – Julian Minghi’s review of Boundary Studies in Political Geography dating from 1963 and Victor Prescott’s Political Frontiers and Boundaries text of 1987 – as a starting point for considering the current state of boundary studies and reflect on continuing and future directions in borders research. The evolution of boundary studies since these key publications emerged will be briefly traced. A number of reasons why boundaries research remains relevant will then be explored, encompassing both contemporary and traditional techniques and research approaches.
