最近的工作在关键地缘政治问题化的概念，边界和质疑的叙事，意识形态和制度，告知边界决策过程，或“重新边界”。从批判地缘政治学的角度来看，以保护为目的的边界划分被理解为嵌入环境地缘政治话语中的权力行为。通过重新划分边界，环境地缘政治学反映并告知地方，国家和国际行为体之间的日常实践和权力关系。在本文中，我说明了在特立尼达，西印度群岛，在当地，国家和国际行为者进行了一场比赛，以确定保护边界，并在纳里瓦沼泽产生有界的身份重新接壤的过程。纳里瓦沼泽的重新划界以复杂的方式反映和影响了国家和地方的做法，改变了多个层面的权力关系，并导致了一个同时具有地方性和全球性的有限空间的产生。
The recent work in critical geopolitics problematizes the notion of boundaries and interrogates the narratives, ideologies, and institutions that inform processes of boundary making, or ‘reborderings’. From the perspective of critical geopolitics, boundary making for conservation purposes is understood as an act of power embedded within a discourse of environmental geopolitics. Through reborderings, environmental geopolitics thus reflects and informs everyday practices and relations of power between local, state, and international actors. In this paper I illustrate a process of rebordering in Trinidad, the West Indies, in which local, state, and international actors engaged in a contest to define conservation boundaries and produce bounded identities within the Nariva Swamp. Rebordering in the Nariva Swamp reflected and influenced state and local practices in complex ways, altered relations of power on multiple levels, and led to the production of a bounded space that is simultaneously local and global.
