Inte rnational boundaries are a major source of friction between neighbouring s tates. Many land boundaries remain poorly defined and fewer than half of t he world’s potential maritime boundaries have been fully agreed. Governm ents recognise the value of clearly-defined boundaries\, yet the politic al\, economic and social complexities of boundary regions\, as well as the details of topography and history\, often make resolving competing territ orial and jurisdictional claims extraordinarily difficult. 

This online training course provides a simple\, contex tual overview of international boundaries and the practical measures that can be taken to resolve international boundary disputes. Through a series of short online lectures and a final practical exercise\, the course explo res the relevance of borders and looks at land and maritime boundary dispu tes\, before covering methods available for dispute resolution. 

All lectures will take place at the O'Malley Training Center. Tickets are available.
