1945年前的80多年间,西方国家涉及边疆(含边界)问题的理论进入相对成熟的时期,主要是国际法和地缘政治学的相关理论发展迅速,美国、俄国、英国、日本等国的相关理论都得到较为全面的发展。这些理论内容广泛,又具有鲜明的时代性,大多数带有“强权即公理”的特点,或者为帝国主义瓜分世界的种种现象进行解释,或者公然地为大国主宰世界、扩张疆土服务。

In the more than 80 years before 1945, the theories concerning the frontier (including borders) in western countries have entered a relatively mature period, mainly due to the rapid development of relevant theories in international law and geopolitics, the related theories in the United States, Russia, Britain, Japan and other countries Have all been more comprehensive development. These theories are both broad and distinctive, most of which have the characteristics of “power or justice,” or interpretations of the phenomena that divide the world by the imperialists, or blatantly govern the world for the big powers and expand their territorial services.
