Near and Middle East Problems. Aspects of Political Cartography

Summary/Abstract: A comprehensive insight into political phenomena and processes is possible only if these are considered within an appropriate geographical context. Their emergence and development is caused, among others, by factors of space, which go beyond mere physical location. In every individual instance factors of territorialisation figure more or less prominently in the complex of factors determining international relations: historical, economic, political, cultural, religious, etc. Territorialisation touches upon the very essence of political relations, and its therefore a constituent part of the study of international relations. Within this context, political cartography occupies a prominent place. The spatial relations and contents represented by political cartography are not mere illustrations but a prerequisite of any competent analysis or conclusion. The relevance of political cartography is demonstrated on the example of some problems of the Near and Middle East.
