As we move deeper into the twenty-first century, the forces of
globalisation continue to transform both the spaces around
international borders, and the social processes, cultural
practices, economies, and political dynamics within and between
these spaces. The geographies of border regions have undergone a
dramatic transformation over the last half century; nation-state
boundaries growing ever more porous in many (though not all) areas
of the planet. Global trade has become an accepted norm in business
transactions almost everywhere. Coupled with the revolution in
digital technology, the era of globalisation promises to continue
to challenge old ideas, with new approaches to understanding
international boundaries and the regions they impact. All of the
chapters in this book, mainly drawn from the US-Mexico border (with
comparisons to Europe), speak to the ways in which border regions
have become important places in their own right, spaces where
people live, work, and create art, where corporations invest, where
crimes occur, and where security remains a concern. They are,
therefore, spaces that need to be better understood and managed,
especially in light of the cross-national and global forces
impinging upon them. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Global Society.
