Abstract:
Common roads or highways are classified under the following heads: First-class or royal roads, second-class or district roads, and third-class or municipal roads. First-class roads connect Lisbon with the chief towns of the districts and with the principal places on the frontier. Second-class roads connect the above named and the cities and principal towns either with each other or with the railway stations and river ports; and lastly, those of the third class join the townships or concelhos with each other or with the preceding roads. The continental part of Portugal is divided into administrative districts, and these into townships or concelhos.Keywords:

The concept of the "frontier," conceived by F.J. Turner for North America and applied to Eurasia by O. Lattimore and others, does not refer to a state border, but to a transitional zone between different geographic, socio-economic, political, religious and cultural spaces. From the15th to 18th centuries, the Russian steppe frontier in the south and southeast was a relatively stable military frontier between the sedentary Christian Russians and the nomadic Muslim Turks and Lamaist Mongols. The frontier was simultaneously a zone of intensive commercial and diplomatic interaction. Only during the 18th and 19th centuries did the steppe frontier become an area of settlement and extraction. Another example, the forest frontier in Siberia, was extractive frontier from the beginning, an area where an economy based on furs and precious metals pushed the frontier rapidly forward. Only its southern sections gradually became a settlement frontier. On the steppe frontier, Russians and the militarily superior nomads were generally on equal terms through the 18th century, whereas the Siberian indigenes were quickly subjugated by Russia and had to pay tributes in furs. Along the rivers of the steppe frontier, the military frontier communities of free Cossacks emerged on the forest frontier as trappers. Cossacks, tradesmen and settlers developed a "Siberian mentality" of free, enterprising pioneers. So the famous "Turner thesis" can be applied to Russia, but only to the peripheral regions of the Cossacks and Siberia, and not to Russia as a whole.

This essay explores the ways in which the electronic frontier builds upon the mythology of frontier expansion generally and the western American frontier in particular, including economic opportunity, danger/uncertainty, individualism, outlaw behavior, vigilantism, and nostalgia.

This article provides a model for the analysis of China's land and maritime frontiers through early imperial history (through the first millennium C.E. ), arguing that three basic types of frontier existed: the "static continental frontier," the "expanding continental frontier," and the "maritime frontier." Through his definition of "frontier" and a comparative discussion of the dynamics of all three frontier types, and with reference to the better known analyses of frontiers in the histories of Europe and North America, the author approaches all frontiers as zones of conflict between civilization and barbarism.

From the invention of imperial authority along the North-West Frontier of British India, subjects were divided between the “civilized” inhabitants populating the cultivated plains and the “wild tribes” living in the hills. The problem of governing this latter group, the “independent tribes,” proved a vexed one for the British Raj. The mechanism developed by imperial administrators to manage the frontier inhabitants was the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR), first promulgated in 1872 and still in effect today. The FCR was designed to exclude the Frontier's inhabitants from the colonial judiciary, and more broadly the colonial sphere, encapsulating them in their own colonially sanctioned “tradition.” Exploring the use of the FCR as an instrument of governance from its first inception into the twentieth century, this article argues that it was key to shaping the nature of frontier rule, which in turn shaped the very nature of the colonial state itself.
