This book presents a radical rethinking of Border Studies. Framing
the discipline beyond conventional topics of spatiality and
territoriality, it presents a distinctly South Asian perspective -
a post-colonial and post-partition region where most borders were
drawn with political motives, ignoring the socio-cultural realities
of the region and economic necessities of the people. The authors
argue that while securing borders is an essential function of the
state, in this interconnected world, crossing borders and border
cooperation is also necessary. The book examines contemporaneous
and topical themes like disputes of identity and nationhood, the
impact of social media on Border Studies, trans-border cooperation,
water-sharing between countries, and resolution of border problems
in the age of liberalisation and globalisation. It also suggests
ways of enhancing cross-border economic cooperation and
connectivity, and reviews security issues from a new perspective.
Well supplemented with case studies, the book will serve as an
indispensable text for scholars and researchers of Border Studies,
military and strategic studies, international relations,
geopolitics, and South Asian studies. It will also be of great
interest to think tanks and government agencies, especially those
dealing with foreign relations.
