Bordering no longer happens only at the borderline separating two
sovereign states, but rather through a wide range of practices and
decisions that occur in multiple locations within and beyond the
state's territory. Nevertheless, it is too simplistic to suggest
that borders are everywhere, since this view fails to acknowledge
that particular sites are significant nodes where border work is
done. Similarly, border work is more likely to be done by
particular people than others. This book investigates the diffusion
of bordering narratives and practices by asking 'who borders and
how?' Placing the Border in Everyday Life complicates the
connection between borders and sovereign states by identifying the
individuals and organizations that engage in border work at a range
of scales and places. This edited volume includes contributions
from major international scholars in the field of border studies
and allied disciplines who analyze where and why border work is
done. By combining a new theorization of border work beyond the
state with rich empirical case studies, this book makes a
ground-breaking contribution to the study of borders and the state
in the era of globalization.
