First published in 2012, Borders: A Very Short Introduction began
with the premise that "we live in a very bordered world." The
intervening decade has witnessed a flurry of events and
developments that continue to highlight the centrality of borders
in contemporary domestic and international affairs, as well as the
interstices between the two, including sudden surges in migrant and
refugees flows; renewed emphasis on traditional border security and
wall construction; growing tensions concerning maritime
sovereignty; rapid advances in cybersecurity, surveillance, and
biometrics; expanded detention and deportation infrastructures;
proliferation of transborder organizations; revived populist and
nationalist sentiments; and protectionist and integrationist trade
practices, to name some prominent examples from recent headlines.
This revised edition accounts for recent developments including
Brexit, the 2015 migration crisis across Europe, efforts to build a
border wall with US-Mexico, growing isolationist and nativist
sentiments, demands for indigenous homelands, transnational protest
movements, Russian cross-border incursions, and insurgencies and
rebellions across much of North Africa and Southwest Asia.
