This book demonstrates the pivotal role played by state confines in the geography of Balkan countries through powerful GIS and remote sensing analyses. It provides unique mapping perspectives on the Balkan region, with over 140 illustrations. The book is dedicated to applied, historical and economic geographers, as well as political scientists.Because of its high fragmentation, the Balkan area has not been studied on a systematic transnational basis. The persistence of frozen and/or open conflicts has also turned the border issue into an absolute taboo subject for the scientific community and civil society. This results in an apparent "chaos" that most Western observers fail to understand. 

Introduction.- Hidden and showcased boundaries. A field approach.- From Empires to nations, 1800-2014.- Balkan border mapping: building the GIS project.- "Hot points" with a hand lens: the process of local border sedimentation.- From borderlines to borderlands. A holistic perspective of the frontier issue in the Balkans.- Spaces under the microscope: looking closely at border fluctuations through remote sensing.- Broken lands and hurt populations: Eastern Macedonia.- Conclusion.

"The book provides a wealth of interesting material for any scholar interested in the Balkans. ... this is a book that should be in the bag of any self-respecting archival (or micro-historical) researcher of the Balkans." (Guido Franzinetti, Südosteuropa Journal of Politics and Society, Vol. 67 (3), 2019)
