Abstract
Political and administrative geography .-Administrative geography has been reinforced by the declining conception of the region in French geography. The two main points of interest are : the study of borders where conflicts between differences take place and the study of administrative divisions. These divisions change with time. Thus, in France, the old historical provinces only survive as cultural units but any frustration on the economic level conjures up provincialism ; the "départements" now seem to be too narrow units and the "developing regions", in spite of their being artificial -have forged new communal links within a few years. Thus, every administrative division of space corresponds to a particular policy and to the technology of a particular period. Can the geographers take part in this production of new space structures or must their role be limited to the analysis of structures which others have set up ?
