The Borders We Share: A New Way to Fix a Broken World

Blog Post #1: Entangled Worlds, Shared Futures: A New Border Blueprint
Borders are alive—they hum with conflict, history and hope. Today, over 200 territorial disputes—like the Israel-Palestine difference, Russia and Ukraine, Falklands/Malvinas, Kashmir or the South China Sea—fracture our world, pitting states against states, communities against power, people against lines on a map. We’re taught it’s a zero-sum game: one claims the prize, others lick their wounds. But what if borders could be bridges, not barricades? What if sovereignty wasn’t a solo act but a shared song? I’m Dr Jorge Emilio Núñez (Dr Jorge for short), and in this series, The Borders We Share, I’m weaving decades of my work into a radical rethink of our planet’s fault lines.
My journey includes three books so far, each a stepping stone. In 2017’s Sovereignty Conflicts, I introduced egalitarian shared sovereignty—splitting authority fairly, not fighting for it, rooted in justice for all sides. Then, 2020’s Territorial Disputes grounded it in reality—case studies like Gibraltar, Israel-Palestine and Antarctica, showing sovereignty as a fluid dance of claims, not a fixed throne. By 2023’s Cosmopolitanism, I went multidimensional, blending state power with global citizenship across agents, contexts and realms. Together, they form the Núñezian Integrated Multiverses—a quantum-inspired lens where sovereignty entangles agents including individuals, communities and states like particles in a cosmic web. A tremor in Ukraine ripples to Taiwan; justice in Kashmir hums in Palestine. My fix? Balance this network—shared, equitable, alive.
To spark your imagination, I’m dipping into a treasure trove of fiction—public-domain worlds that mirror our own. First, a deep nod to Hergé, the Tintin maestro who gave us Borduria’s iron grip, Syldavia’s regal spine and Khemed’s dusty wealth. These aren’t my lands—they’re his, a shared legacy I’m honoring, not hijacking. Where Hergé spun tales of rivalry, I’m spinning solutions. But I’m not stopping there. This series will roam wider—Sherlock Holmes sniffing clues in a foggy London turf war, Robin Hood defending Sherwood’s green from greedy hands, Atlantis sinking under rival claims, Narnia’s kings clashing over frozen borders, Oz’s wizards haggling over emerald spoils, Utopia’s dreamers debating perfect lines. These icons—individuals, communities, nations—aren’t mine either; they’re humanity’s, free to reimagine. They’re my lens to light up real disputes, from Crimea’s shadow to the Amazon’s scars.
Picture Borduria and Syldavia scrapping over Khemed’s oil—a Tintin feud with South China Sea vibes. My 2017 lens says share it: equal seats, split riches, no overlords. My 2020 work digs in—real data from Falklands/Malvinas or Gibraltar shows the tangle of history, force and need. Then 2023’s multidimensionality kicks up—agents (locals, states), contexts (local, regional and international pride vs. treaties), realms (law, ethics, religion), all in flux like quantum states. Or imagine Sherlock Holmes mediating a London dock spat—think Brexit’s Irish border—solved by a council where all talk as peers. Robin Hood’s band and the Sheriff split Sherwood—echoes of Brazil’s land grabs—balanced by 2017’s fairness, 2020’s facts, 2023’s pluralistic web. Atlantis rises as nations vie for its depths—Arctic thaw, anyone?—and Narnia’s kings share a throne, like Cyprus split anew. Oz’s emerald city and Utopia’s ideals? They’re Palestine’s streets, reimagined as entangled stakes, not battlegrounds.
This is Núñezian Integrated Multiverses: 2017’s equity, 2020’s grit, 2023’s depth, fused into a quantum hum. Sovereignty isn’t one note—it’s a chord, played across dimensions. The real world proves it—2020’s cases show Gibraltar’s rock or Kashmir’s snow as nodes in a system, not lone peaks. A claim in Oz shifts Narnia; justice in Atlantis lifts Utopia. Traditional law and politics see flat lines; I see multiverses—agents (you, me, them), roles (hosts, players), contexts (local, regional, global), all superimposed until we act. My answer weaves them—shared councils, entangled rights, cosmopolitan echoes—because a win in one corner sings everywhere.
This series will bounce from Hergé’s Khemed to Holmes’ alleys, from Narnia’s ice to Oz’s shine, then back to our headlines—Ukraine’s edge, Palestine’s pain, the Arctic’s rush. Each post tests this vision: fictional fixes grounded in real stakes. Borduria’s dust meets Crimea’s mud; Robin Hood’s green hugs the Amazon’s roots; Atlantis’ waves lap the South China Sea. My work—2017, 2020, 2023—ties it tight: justice fuels sharing, data demands depth, dimensions defy the old maps.
Join me. Share this, challenge it, dive in. Borders aren’t endings—they’re threads in a tapestry. Let’s stitch them into something whole. Next up: Khemed’s oil, Sherlock’s fog, and a real-world mirror you won’t miss.
