The book explores the complex, multi-directional connections of the
"mobility/security nexus" in the re-ordering of states, empires,
and markets in historical perspective. Contributing to a vivid
academic debate, the book offers in-depth studies on how mobility
and security interplay in the emergence of order beyond the modern
state. While mobilities studies, migration studies and critical
security studies have focused on particular aspects of this
relationship, such as the construction of mobility as a political
threat or the role of infrastructure and security, we still lack
comprehensive conceptual frameworks to grasp the mobility/security
nexus and its role in social, political, and economic orders. With
authors drawn from sociology, International Relations, and various
historical disciplines, this transdisciplinary volume historicizes
the mobility-security nexus for the first time. In answering calls
for more studies that are both empirical and have historical depth,
the book presents substantial case studies on the nexus, ranging
from the late Middle Ages right up to the present-day, with
examples from the British Empire, the Russian Empire, the Habsburg
Empire, Papua New Guinea, Rome in the 1980s or the European Union
today. By doing so, the volume conceptualizes the mobility/security
nexus from a new, innovative perspective and, further, highlights
it as a prominent driving force for society and state development
in history. This book will be of much interest to researchers and
students of critical security studies, mobility studies, sociology,
history and political science.
