How does the size, shape, and location affect a country’s
viability?
The larger the more natural resources except
Russia and Canada where north is barren
Brazil has rain
forest, but not fertile soil
Country’s shape offers advantages and disadvantages
Vast landscapes
are harder to govern
Exclaves or
prouptions hard to administer to
Fragmented states
hard to create cohesion
Landlocked states
at strategic, military, and economic disadvantage
Elongated states
may have transportation problems; many areas far away from govt. centers
If given a map of a country, such as India or Canada, could
you write an essay about how a country’s shape and location affect national and
international politics?
