The paper explores the historical evolution of political borders in Europe from the end of the Middle Ages to the Modern Era, highlighting the processes of border demarcation and the legal frameworks that established territorial sovereignty. It examines the significance of natural elements in border delineation, the role of witnesses and legal documentation in establishing borders, and introduces the concept of 'fines publici', delineating public territorial boundaries as distinct from private property. The analysis sheds light on the intricate interplay of legal, political, and geographical factors that shaped nation-states and their borders during a transformative historical period.
This article discusses concepts and realities of "borders" in early modern Europe. It outlines the basic shifts in the relevant terminology with particular emphasis on juridical and political discourses. It focuses on the relative importance of zonal and linear notions of borders, as well as on the growing significance of the natural environment in contemporary thought on the topic. The issue of inter-state relations, in particular as regards the Ottoman Empire, is used to illustrate the political relevance of changing concepts of borders.
