How about the rest of you?<br/>
I will repost if necessary.<br/>

<br/>
As there are somewhere in the vicinity of 150-200 INdo-bangla enclaves, any <br/>
census needs to sort them out. Which is exactly what my thesis is trying to <br/>
do. Who&#39;s got what, where and since when.<br/>
Fragments is my word for any part of the (land surface) of a country that is <br/>
&#39;broken off&#39;, either an island, or the far side of a lake only accessible by <br/>
boat (ie angel innlet), or enclaves or whathave you.<br/>
I am trying to classify fragments, of which true enclaves are the most <br/>
extreme.<br/>
<br/>
full details available within 6 months in my forthcoming tome.<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;second<br/>
&gt;would the above questions be answered any differently if adjacent<br/>
&gt;territorial seas were considered integral parts of those coastal clave<br/>
&gt;territories that have them<br/>
&gt;just as much as they are integral to the so called metropolitan areas or<br/>
&gt;nuclear territories of coastal & archipelagic countries generally<br/>
&gt;<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Probably. For example the one on cyprus, which goes down to the tide line, <br/>
and no further. Monaco&#39;s EEZ is enclaosed within Frances, so in watery <br/>
terms, it is an enclave, nort a coastal fragment.<br/>
St Pierre et Miquelon are islands, but their EEZs arel ikewise enclosed in <br/>
Canadas&#39;, making them enclaves.<br/>
<br/>
B<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;third<br/>
&gt;do you really mean by the term fragments to invoke the idea of fracturing &<br/>
&gt;breaking<br/>
&gt;& to imply that these entities have actually been broken  or have broken<br/>
&gt;or are broken  or are being broken  in some sense<br/>
&gt;<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>It&#39;s a useful metaphor. The question with enclaves is: are they a remannider <br/>
of territory that was lost fomr around them, or are they the first outpost <br/>
of a possible territorial expension by the owning state?<br/>
The ideas of geopolitik and growth of states as living objects is useful <br/>
here. Think of enclaves as drops of mercury or water left over as a tide <br/>
recedes, that may become part of the home state when the next wave advances.<br/>
