Abstract:
International frontiers and boundaries separate land, rivers and lakes subject to different sovereignties. By 1900 frontiers had almost disappeared and had been replaced by boundaries that are lines. This work deals with frontiers, boundary evolution and boundary disputes. It also considers aspects of international law related to boundaries
