Document Summary
* historical: geographic realms must represent the most comprehensive and encompassing definitions of the great clusters of humankind today. China lies at the heart of such a cluster, as does india. Africa constitutes a geographic realm from the southern margin of the sahara to the. Cape of good hope and from the atlantic to its indian ocean shores. Realms and regions are dynamic entities; geography is always subject to change. World geographic realms: europe: territorially small, politically still fragmented but economically united, europe has had a very turbulent history and has been disproportionately influential in global affairs. The regionalization of this realm is today best approached within a core/periphery framework. Undergoing a difficult transition from dictatorship to democracy and from communism to capitalism, russia is geographically complex and continues to change. Core in the west, the southeastern frontier, siberia, the far east, and transcaucasia: north america: north america consists of the united states and canada.
