An overview to scientific meeting of geographers and to the state boundary controversies in a short term, show that World Political Map it is changing very quickly. A survey of some boundary controversies provides elements to affirm that aspects of dynamism at World Political Map are coming from the same controversies. In the same way, boundary controversies have explanation from de power disputes. During XX century new ideas are introduced on political relations between states, that ideas open a way for identified new forms of dynamism over World Political Map.
