Unsettled: Where the world's borders still argue.
Notas del episodio
From the ballot box to the buffer zone, this episode maps the world's unfinished business with borders. We travel from Scotland's stalled independence movement and Northern Ireland's Brexit-era standoff, through Catalonia's amnesty fight and Belgium's linguistic divide — then into the harder edges: Georgia's Russian-backed breakaway region, Armenia and Azerbaijan's fragile peace after Nagorno-Karabakh, and Somaliland's sudden leap from total isolation to its first-ever recognition. We sit with Western Sahara's decades-long limbo, the Kurdish peoples split across four nations, Kashmir's nuclear-shadowed standoff, Cyprus's slow thaw after fifty years of partition, and the "One China" question shaping the fate of Taiwan.
Twelve regions, six categories, one throughline: what happens when a line on a map stops being a fact everyone agrees on.
Every dispute is presented from multiple sides — no verdicts, just the fault lines themselves.
