The optimism heralded by the end of the Cold War and the idea of an
emerging borderless world was soon shadowed by conflicts, wars,
terrorism, and new border walls. Migrants, asylum seekers, and
refugees have simultaneously become key political figures. Border
and mobility studies are now two sides of the same coin. The
chapters of this volume reflect the changing relations between
borders, bordering practices, and mobilities. They provide both
theoretical insights and contextual knowledge on how borders,
bordering practices, and ethical issues come together in
mobilities. The chapters scrutinize how bounded (territorial) and
open/networked (relational) spaces manifest in various contexts.
The first section, 'Borders in a borderless world', raises
theoretical questions. The second, 'Politics of inclusion and
exclusion', looks at bordering practices in the context of
migration. The third section, 'Contested mobilities and
encounters', focuses on tourism, which has been an 'accepted' form
of mobility but which has recently become an object of critique
because of overtourism. Section four, 'Borders, security,
politics', examines bordering practices and security in the EU and
beyond, highlighting how the migration/border politics nexus has
become a national and supra-national political challenge. The
chapters of this interdisciplinary volume contribute both
conceptually and empirically to understanding contemporary
bordering practices and mobilities. It is essential reading for
geographers, political scientists, sociologists, and international
relations scholars interested in the contemporary meanings of
borders and mobilities.
