Two conferences on political geography

Abstract

Within the space of two weeks and a distance of one hundred kilometres, two workshops of experts on Political Geography were held. The first was held in Girona under the title of «Power ad the Region». Although the five guest speakers proceed from different disciplines, they share a common interest in making proposals and reflecting on methodology. The second meeting, this time in Barcelona, was on «The frontier from the viewpoint of Political Geography». The six speakers, rather than sharing a unified approach, shared a passion for the frontier questions. The themes and purposes of the workshops were obviously different, but together clearly indicate the profound interest in Political Geography in Catalonia and Spain.
