The modern notion of the landscape of the nation-state, we argue, emerged in part through an 'emblematic' fusion of the nation, imagined as a bio-organic body-politic, and the state conceptualised in geo-metric terms as the Euclidean, cartographic framework within which that body operates. The eliding of the geo-metric with the bio-organic has influenced national discourse, law and practice by defining the legal and social right to belong within this landscape in bio-spatial terms. This is exemplified by the international political cause celebre of the 'Schleswig-Holstein Border Question' and its continuing ramifications for the quality of life in Denmark-particularly for those living in the landscapes of state-designated immigrant 'ghettoes' scheduled for physical and social eradication because their settlements are perceived as endangering the bio-spatial cohesion of the 'nation-state'.
