This book explores and maps the relationship between borders,
security and global governance.
Theoretically, the book seeks to establish to what degree, and
in what ways, traditional notions of borders, security and (global)
governance are being eroded, undermined and contested in the
context of a globalising world. Borders are increasingly being
re-conceptualised to account for connectivity as well as divisions
at the same time as focus is shifting from permanence to
permeability. The ambivalence ascribed to bordering processes is at
heart a security concern; borders are not only entwined with state
formation but are also attempts at governing securities, identities
and histories.
Proceeding from a critical rendering of statist
conceptualisations of borders, security and governance, the book
not only emphasises the politics of borders, mobility and
re-locations, but also provides a shared groundwork for
interrogating the spatial conditions for bordering and border work
as manifestations of a continuously deferred becoming rather than
being. A principal contribution of the volume is its scrutiny of
how borders are enacted and perceived in and through the everyday,
and of how such production and construal can make sense as acts of
resistance to various forms of governing. Such a focus reveals the
necessity of investigating how governing from afar affects the
possibilities and tendencies to securitise as well as desecuritise,
within as well as beyond elite settings.
This book will be of much interest to students of border
studies, human geography, governmentality, global governance and
IR/critical security studies.
