This book brings together insights from border scholars and
philosophers to ask how we are to define and understand concepts of
borders today. Borders have a defining role in contemporary
societies. Take, for example, the 2016 US election and the UK
Brexit referendum, and subsequent debate, where the rhetoric and
symbolism of border controls proved fundamental to the outcomes.
However, borders are also becoming ever more multifaceted and
complex, representing intersections of political, economical,
social, and cultural interests. For some, borders are tangible,
situated in time and place; for others, the nature of borders can
be abstracted and discussed in general terms. By discussing borders
philosophically and theoretically, this edited collection tackles
head on the most defi ning and challenging questions within the fi
eld of border studies regarding the defi nition of its very object
of study. Part 1 of the book consists of theoretical contributions
from border scholars, Part 2 takes a philosophical approach, and
Part 3 brings together chapters where philosophy and border studies
are directly related. Borders intersect with the key issues of our
time, from migration, climate change vulnerability, terror,
globalization, inequality, and nationalism, to intertwining
questions of culture, identity, ideology, and religion. This book
will be of interest to those studying in these fields, and most
especially to researchers of border studies and philosophy.

Europe's borders have always been historically ambiguous and
dynamic, whereby borders shift and change character and new borders
replace older ones. By focusing upon the title question 'where are
Europe's new borders', this volume looks at the present state of
European bordering and questions the often taken for granted
relationships between borders, borderers and the bordered. While
each chapter concentrates on a different (but overlapping) border
issue or perspective, they are united through their focus on the
level of everyday bordering practices and experiences, as well as
the meaning that borders have upon all stakeholders and the
relationships between them. To talk about border meaning (including
the perspective of the researchers themselves), and how that
meaning continually (re)creates and is (re)created by bordering
practices, is to critically question where important borders lie,
why and for whom do they matter and how are they imposed,
maintained and resisted. As a result the chapters engage with
issues of border violence, the power of maps and symbols
(carto-politics), migrant mobility, gender and the rise of the far
right in Europe. Taken together this edited collection will be of
interest to border scholars as well as students of European
politics more generally. This book was previously published as a
special issue of the Journal of Contemporary European Studies.
