Topic 4.4
Why might superimposed boundaries cause conflict?
They're often imposed by external powers, ignoring pre-existing cultural divisions.
They tend to fluctuate in response to changing political scenarios creating instability in the region they divide.
They follow too closely along natural geographic features causing territorial disputes over resources.
They are usually circular in shape leading to issues in resource distribution among different regions within these boundaries
