Compelling and accessible, this Very Short Introduction challenges
the perception of borders as passive lines on a map, revealing them
instead to be integral forces in the economic, social, political,
and environmental processes that shape our lives. Highlighting the
historical development and continued relevance of borders,
Alexander C. Diener and Joshua Hagen offer a powerful counterpoint
to the idea of an imminent borderless world, underscoring the
impact borders have on a range of issues, such as economic
development, inter- and intra-state conflict, global terrorism,
migration, nationalism, international law, environmental
sustainability, and natural resource management. Diener and Hagen
demonstrate how and why borders have been, are currently, and will
undoubtedly remain hot topics across the social sciences and in the
global headlines for years to come. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very
Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains
hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized
books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas,
and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
readable.
