Govt troops "now patrol the buffer zone created in between, while the militias that have formed on both sides dig trenches and wait for an opportunity to attack."

I hadn’t heard of the term back then, but this is definitely what I was trying to wrestle with in my 2020 paper on links between political discourse, diplomacy, personal and territorial entitlement when analysing debates on Ukraine at the UN Security Council after 2014.

Today, in sub-zero temperatures, we walked from border stone 16 to 43, starting from Bossy, looping back to our starting point. We were close to here a few weeks ago, in much warmer weather. But despite the freezing ‘bise noire’ north wind ringing in our ears, we were pleased that frozen ground helped us walk across stretches that would have been too muddy only a few days ago. #borderWalk #geography #autoethnography #walkingMethodology #borders #politicalGeography

Passing the geographical curiosity of Campione d’Italia, land of the insanely-large casino, a part of Italy enclaved within Switzerland. Surely it must be full of men like James Bond flexing their manly muscles while preparing daring heists? Or just enjoying dodgy tax regimes? Or sad people losing money they can ill afford?
