In this beautifully filmed series, historian Rory Stewart studies the extraordinary landscape, oral history and archaeology of the Anglo-Scottish border, finding parallels with frontiers from Turkey to Nepal. Two thousand years ago, the Romans dominated the world. They divided their northernmost territory with an arbitrary marker; Hadrian’s Wall split the communities of Britain in two. Border Lands explores the Anglo-Scottish borderlands’ tumultuous history, learning how this boundary defined the region. Having served as a diplomat in fiercely contested borderlands from Indonesia and the Balkans to Iraq and Afghanistan, Rory has witnessed the effect of artificial frontiers, and the destructive potential of new nationalisms. Drawing on this experience, Rory reveals how borders are forged – both in the land and in our imagination.

This case study describes the Lithuanian-Russian negotiations over Russian transit rights through newly independent Lithuania to the isolated, yet militarily important enclave of Kaliningrad. The case analyzes foreign policy decision-making in a small, relatively poor state (Lithuania) with strong historical and contemporary ties to a large, dominant state (Russia)— portrays the difficulties of working out the nuts and bolts of foreign policy agreements in any country. This case can be paired with “The Long Good-Bye: The Withdrawal of Russian Military Forces from the Baltic States” (Case Study 230) and “After the Empire: Estonia and Russia Negotiate Borders and Citizenship” (Case Study 251).
