For about 50&nbsp;years, the Iron Curtain imposed its law on vast areas doomed to underdevelopment and placed under direct or undirect military supervision. The border issue in Greece, its present weight, and historical legacies are key to understand how the country achieved its development in the face of adversity; to such a point that <i>border</i> and <i>boundary</i> may be seen as universal concepts encompassing all dimensions and areas of applied geography in Greece.Nation building is an emancipation movement implying the definition of boundaries that remain mobile until opposing territorial dynamics between neighbors reach a balance and settle down. These dynamics influence the structure of the state and its internal functioning. Between 1832 and 1947 Greece has been engaged in a process of territorial expansion against its neighbors, in the first rank of which was the Ottoman Empire. Over that period, Athens also managed to achieve a simultaneous “internal colonization” whose outcomes are still entangled today in land use, planning practices, and territorial administration. One might admit that the oversized centrality of the Greek capital is the product of a systematic enterprise aiming to empty any land confine of all substance for safety and defense reasons. This paper will address the litigations, development issues, and territorial dynamics related to border and boundary geography.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AMS","StandardTitle":"Border areas and land confines: Litigations, defense, and development","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-06-18 01:34:39.159784","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Borderlands · Boundaries · State confines · Defense · Litigations · Territorial dynamics","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2024,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2025-06-11","DateCreate":"2025-06-11","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":0,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1007/978-3-031-29819-6_6"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":408317,"PubliDate":2024,"Pagination":"81-112","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":"978-3-031-29818-9","Volume":null,"Issue":null,"BRefMon":408316,"BRefMonRR":"<b>Darques, R.; Sidiropoulos, G.; Kalabokidis, K.
