... The territoriality concept provides a fruitful vocabulary for studying the spatial actions of drawing borders and has long received geographers' attention. It is a dynamic process relying on ongoing actions over a geographic area (Sack, 1983(Sack, , 1986Altman, 1975;Newman and Paasi, 1998;Johnston, 2001;Paasi, 2003). In this regard, scholars treat the concept of territoriality as deliberate actions to affect, influence, or control resources and people over spatial boundaries (Sack, 1986). ...

... Insularity, territoriality, urbanization, and nature: the right to nature and to the island The uniqueness of islands is an issue that is addressed in widespread literature (Mountz, 2015). Despite their peculiarities, islands are well-defined territories (Gillis, 2004) whose borders play a fundamental (albeit not exclusive) role in the delimitation and practice of territoriality (Paasi, 2003).

... However, the 'borderscapes concept' (see Rumley, 2010) does not necessarily advance a complete set of factors in an organized and comprehensive manner, which can easily be used by policymakers to delimit CBAPI. In the same manner, other concepts associated with border literature, whilst invoking the need for soft borders (Paasi, 2011;Paasi & Zimmerbauer, 2016), a continual readjustment of border scales in view of social relations and cross-border activities (Bürkner, 2019), and a reality of a multiscalar border construction, systematically negotiated and reconfigured by its actors at different levels (Laine, 2016), does not always provide a clear-cut solution to appropriately delimit CBAPI. ...

... Yet it is important to note that borders are not only lines that exist (on maps, if not on the ocean surface itself, a space that defies inscription [see Steinberg & Peters, 2015]). Those border lines are maintained, secured, transgressed and challenged through a variety of performances of/at the border-at its edge and far beyond it (see Paasi, 2013, for a review). If we follow Hung and Lien's assertion, aside from the two examples we gave at the start of this chapter, there are many other ways in which borders are present in, and placed within, the oceans. ...
