Outline of Final Research Achievements |
TThe establishment of modern states in the Arafura Sea region resulted in the "territorialization" of the adjacent waters, and the generation of various forms of maritime borders. These “borders” have divided local socio-economic spheres, and triggered transborder migration. Although the transborder activities were “illegalized” from time to time, people in the region have reshaped their social networks and accommodated their subsistence activities, while keeping their shared customary knowledge. The “boundaries” which were incorporated in their societies and built into relations with other local groups have had to be reconstructed. By examining the discrepancies between the “borders” as exercises of states’ jurisdictions and the traditional “boundaries” embedded in local activities, this study has investigated such issues in Border Studies, and pointed to directions for further research in the field.
