This edited collection formalises Critical Border Studies (CBS) as
a distinctive approach within the interdisciplinary border studies
literature. Although CBS represents a heterogeneous assemblage of
thought, the hallmark of the approach is a basic dissatisfaction
with the 'Line in the Sand' metaphor as an unexamined starting
point for the study of borders. A headline feature of each
contribution gathered here is a concerted effort to decentre the
border. By 'decentring' we mean an effort to problematise the
border not as taken-for-granted entity, but precisely as a site of
investigation. On this view, the border is not something that
straightforwardly presents itself in an unmediated way. It is never
simply 'present', nor fully established, nor obviously accessible.
Rather, it is manifold and in a constant state of becoming.
Empirically, contributors examine the changing nature of the border
in a range of cases, including: the Arctic Circle; German-Dutch
borderlands; the India-Pakistan region; and the Mediterranean Sea.
Theoretically, chapters draw on a range of critical thinkers in
support of a new paradigm for border research. The volume will be
of particular interest to border studies scholars in anthropology,
human geography, international relations, and political science.
Critical Border Studies was published as a special issue of
Geopolitics.
