Lots of interesting stuff, although I'm a bit worried as to whether I'll be able to write down coherent answers using all that interesting stuff come SAC time.
Interesting. I guess it'd be a good idea to have a little notebook full of quotes and stuff then. (I think I'll take that Obama one haha)

Keep writing practice answers and you'll see that you'll retain the relevant points that will make a solid response come SAC time.

Hi!
Could somebody please explain to me how contested and changing borders challenge a state's sovereignty? Thank you!

Well sovereignty is the notion that you have authority and supreme control over a fixed population and defined territorial region right?
If that is the case then Russia's (or "pro-Russian militant's") invasion of the Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine, in 2014, is contesting Ukraine's sovereignty as they seek to take rule over the territorial area. This challenge of Ukraine's sovereignty is further seen when 50 pro-Russian militants and 20 other civilians invaded and successfully controlled a Navy airbase in Novofedorivka, March 2014.
So basically when a state's "power" over that recognised territory is being "disputed" by another state you see how it challenges a state's sovereignty.
(Sorry for the vagueness, I'm trying to remember this from last year! :P)

It's about undermining someones sovereignty. Like in a classroom, you challenge the teachers ability to exercise effective control over the students if you mouth off to them and treat it like your home. Similarly, if Australia went over to New Zealand with 20,000 troops with guns trying to annex their land to claim as their own, this would challenge New Zealands ability to exercise effective control over its borders. The best IRL case study would probably be what Reus suggested.
