TRIMBACH Política Ida Estonia borders discourse Viru County Geopolitical discourse reinforces and challenges national geopolitical narratives, nationalizing processes, and political-territorial borders. Political-territorial borders are prominent features in contemporary political geography and attract a wealth of interdisciplinary scholarship. I contribute to this scholarship by addressing Estonian restorationist geopolitical discourse and the northeastern Estonian-Russian border. I address the Estonian-Russian border through a critical approach that analyzes Estonian state discourse. This article focuses on the Estonian Internal Security Service (Kaitsepolitseiamet), a major branch of the Estonian Ministry of the Interior. I find that Estonian state border discourses and representations illustrate the socio-spatial consequences of Estonian nationalizing processes linked to restorationist geopolitics. The beginning of the twentyfirst century and pending EU accession were heralded as symbolizing the decline of Estonian restorationist geopolitics and the rise of Estonian political integration and accommodation with the European community; however, this analysis brings to the fore the problematic perpetuation of restorationist geopolitics through state-produced border discourse, which suggests restorationist geopolitics still thrives within the Estonian state and carries negative implications for resolving the ongoing Estonian-Russian (and now EU-Russian) border dispute. 2014 artículo científico 1316-6727 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=54340985004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=543 Aldea Mundo application/pdf Universidad de los Andes Aldea Mundo (República Bolivariana de Venezuela) Num.37 Vol.19 |
