Borders represent an intriguing paradox as globalization continues
to leap barriers at a vigorous pace, merging economies and cultures
through world trade, economic integration, the mass media, the
Internet, and increasingly mobile populations. At the same time,
the political boundaries separating peoples remain pervasive and
problematic. Borders and Border Politics in a Globalizing World
offers a carefully selected group of readings to enhance student
understanding of the complexities of border regions. The reader
brings together key writings on the histories of borders, their
social development, their politics, and the daily life that
characterizes them. The authors place their analyses of these
issues in an international context, stressing how borders
influence, and how they are influenced by, global processes. The
selections provide a window on our current understanding of human
interactions at and along national and interethnic boundaries,
interactions that will characterize borders and border politics for
decades to come. Drawing on a worldwide set of case studies, this
text divides border issues into seven thematic categories: borders
as barriers; borders, migrants, and refugees; borders and
partitioned groups; borders, perceptions and culture; borders and
the environment; borders, goods, and services; and maritime and
space borders. An excellent text for courses on boundaries,
ethnicity, and international relations, this collection of
cutting-edge information and analysis on borders and border
politics in the context of ongoing globalization will shed light
both upon international and subnational boundaries and upon the
unfolding processes of globalization.
