Titre : Cartography and Geopolitics in the Arctic Region Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Jeppe Strandsbjerg, Auteur Editeur : Copenhagen [Denmark] : DIIS Année de publication : 2010 Collection : Working Paper num. 20 Importance : 22 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Droit
Politique environnementaleTags : Géostratégie politique Souveraineté Région arctique Résumé : Jeppe Strandsbjerg discusses the relationship between geography and politics; and more specifically, the relationship between sovereign claims and cartography. He introduces the term cartopolitics to describe a particular way of making space real and corresponding with politics that defines contemporary bordering practices in the Arctic region. The paper argues that too often boundary studies assumes that socio-political space arise as a result of boundary practices. In contrast, this paper proceeds from a notion that space should precede boundaries in the analysis because, unless space is taken as a natural given and constant background, its ‘construction’ conditions how boundaries can be established in the first place. In sequence, he argues how the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea builds on – and requires – a particular spatiality epitomised by so-called modern cartography. This has implications for the way in which sovereignty over space is transferred from a political to a scientific domain, and essentially, it tends to mask the constructed nature of the spatiality given objectivity through the law of the sea.
