Kalejdoskop goriške preteklosti, zgodbe o spominu in pozabi ('Kaleidoscope of the Past - Memories and Forgotten Stories from the Border') is a story about lives of the people living along the ...Slovenian-Italian border. In this area, the idea of the border is manifold, it is a state border, a territorial border, a temporal border between what had happened and the interpretations of past events today. The author discusses the divisive past and the seemingly uniting present permeating the area. She tells a story about the city Gorica, to which both Italians and Slovenians lay claims, a story about the struggle for redemption and freedom, about people who stroll along the same river, shop in the same shops and eat indulge similar cuisines. Still, they manage to retain a thin line of differentiation, a mentally construed abyss invariantly fortifying the distance. Since 2007, the border is visually gone yet it remains the criterion of spatial differentiation and identity formation, the founding stone of respective communities.
A cultural landscape is simultaneously a complex phenomenon and a process~it is a medium and a result of human activities and perception. This monograph is based on a postmodern view of the landscape ...and it understands the landscape not only as a physical phenomenon, but especially as a social and cultural document. Reading this document discloses the layers of meaning and processes that comprise it. This study examines the understanding and perception of the spatial effects from the history of Slovenian Istria in the twentieth century. It does not deal with direct changes in cultural landscape features, but rather with people’s relationship to them, and so social representation theory is used to represent landscape as a complex phenomenon. The focus is on representations of the landscape and history, such as their appearance in various literary, professional, and scholarly texts. Any literature can be a source for scholarly study and can enable the creation of new geographical knowledge and awareness.
The article describes a view on the land surveying profession in Texas with an emphasis on the boundary determination from the perspective of a Registered Professional Land Surveyor registered in ...both jurisdictions, Slovenia and Texas, who worked in landsurveying in Texas in years 2007 and 2008. The principles of the boundary determination between Slovenia and Texas differ considerably.

Sodelovanje dveh sosednjih držav je nujnost v mednarodnih odnaosih. Prvih deset let neodvisnosti Hrvaške in Slovenije je bilo v znamenju določanja državne meje. Skupna komisija je za večino meje ...dosegla soglasje , še vedno pa je nekaj nevsklajenosti in seveda nerešeno vprašanje meje na morju. Stališča o morski meji se danes bolj razhajajo kot na začetku pogovorov, razlike pa so posledica spremenjenih naravnogeografskih razmer ter različnega političnega stanja v obeh državah. Na mednarodnem področju imata obe državi podobne cilje, ravni njihove uresničitve pa sta različni. Pri evropski integraciji Slovenija močno prednajči. Ne glede na probleme imata obe državi pogoje, da razvijeta prekomejno sodelovanje. Za to zgodovina daje dobre osnove, a prebivalstvo obmejnih območij podpira reševanje problemov in izboljšanje bodočega sodelovanja.
Članek obravnava sodobne vidike političnogeografskih obravnav ter njihove aplikativnosti pri proučevanju konvergentnih in divergentnih družbenih in prostorskih fenomenov. Analizira problematiko ...interpretiranja meja ter teritorialnosti, še posebno po geopolitičnih transformacijah v Evropi ter v luči ustvarjanja nove političnogeografske podobe kontinenta in v njem potekajočih integracijskih procesov. V nadaljevanju prikazuje pojave in probleme razvoja v evropskih kontaktnih prostorih, ki jih opredeljujejo obmejni status in prisotnost jezikovnih manjšin.
Jane Bluestein je doktorirala iz pedagogike in se v Sloveniji prvič predstavila že leta 1997, s prevodom knjige Disciplina 21. stoletja. Sicer pa je slovenski javnosti znana tudi po ...številnih predavanjih za učitelje, vzgojitelje in starše. Zdajšnja njena knjiga "Kako otroku postaviti meje in poskrbeti tudi zase" v prevodu Neže Rojko je dobrodošlo delo o starševstvu in učenju vloge v njem. Pa ne le to. Čeprav se na prvi pogled zdi, da želi avtorica s tem delom naučiti starše, kako pravilno ravnati z otroki in kako vzpostavljati zdrave in pristne odnose med generacijami, je hkrati tudi učbenik osebnostnega razvoja odraslih - staršev.
Avtor na primeru slovensko-hrvaške meje predstavi probleme na mikro- (lokalni) in makro-regionalni (meddržavni in evropski) ravni, ki so se pojavili ob vzpostavitvi slovensko-hrvaške meje po letu ...1991. Na lokalni ravni predstavi negativne učinke meje v življenju tamkajšnjega prebivalstva, na makro-regionalni ravni pa opredeli pomen tega prostora v mednarodnem prometu.
