Population Patterns and the Boundaries of Political Space

Readers encounter population distribution through the revealing, and sometimes contested, perspective of political boundaries. Historical and contemporary materials are used selectively, giving the reader enough conceptual depth to judge competing explanations. The emphasis is on population distribution viewed through political boundaries, with maps, spatial evidence, field observations, and uncertainty-aware interpretations. Which claims can be tested independently, and which remain interpretive?
