Border walls, shipwrecks in the Mediterranean, separated families
at the border, island detention camps: migration is at the centre
of contemporary political and academic debates. This
ground-breaking Handbook offers an exciting and original analysis
of critical research on themes such as these, drawing on
cutting-edge theories from an interdisciplinary and international
group of leading scholars. With a focus on spatial analysis and
geographical context, this volume highlights a range of
theoretical, methodological and regional approaches to migration
research, while remaining attuned to the underlying politics that
bring critical scholars together. Divided into six thematic
sections, including new areas in critical migration research, the
book covers the key questions galvanizing migration scholars today,
such as issues surrounding refugees and border militarization. Each
chapter explores new themes, expanding on core theories to convey
fresh insight to contemporary research. A key resource for
migration, refugee and border studies this Handbook provides an
in-depth analysis of the topic, covering a vast array of research
ideas with a specific focus on the geographical aspects of
migration. Scholars working on migration, refugees, asylum,
transnationalism, humanitarianism and borders will find this an
invaluable read. Contributors: J. Allsopp, I. Atac, N. Bagheri, A.

Border control continues to be a highly contested and politically
charged subject around the world. This collection of essays
challenges reactionary nationalism by making the positive case for
the benefits of free movement for countries on both ends of the
exchange. Open Borders counters the knee-jerk reaction to build
walls and close borders by arguing that there is not a moral,
legal, philosophical, or economic case for limiting the movement of
human beings at borders. The volume brings together essays by
theorists in anthropology, geography, international relations, and
other fields who argue for open borders with writings by activists
who are working to make safe passage a reality on the ground. It
puts forward a clear, concise, and convincing case for a world
without movement restrictions at borders. The essays in the first
part of the volume make a theoretical case for free movement by
analyzing philosophical, legal, and moral arguments for opening
borders. In doing so, they articulate a sustained critique of the
dominant idea that states should favor the rights of their own
citizens over the rights of all human beings. The second part
sketches out the current situation in the European Union, in states
that have erected border walls, in states that have adopted a
policy of inclusion such as Germany and Uganda, and elsewhere in
the world to demonstrate the consequences of the current regime of
movement restrictions at borders. The third part creates a dialogue
between theorists and activists, examining the work of Calais
Migrant Solidarity, No Borders Morocco, activists in sanctuary
cities, and others who contest border restrictions on the ground.
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.
First published in 1999, this volume discusses how the nursing and
health care fields are developing rapidly. This series of
monographs offers up-to-date reports of recently completed research
projects in the fields of nursing and health care. The aim of the
series is to report studies that have relevance to contemporary
nursing and health care practice. It includes reports of research
into aspects of clinical nursing care, management and education.
The series is of interest to all nurses and health care workers,
researchers, managers and educators in the field.

Forty thousand people died trying to cross international borders in
the past decade, with the high-profile deaths along the shores of
Europe only accounting for half of the grisly total. Reece Jones
argues that these deaths are not exceptional, but rather the result
of state attempts to contain populations and control access to
resources and opportunities. "We may live in an era of
globalization," he writes, "but much of the world is increasingly
focused on limiting the free movement of people." In Violent
Borders, Jones crosses the migrant trails of the world, documenting
the billions of dollars spent on border security projects and their
dire consequences for countless millions. While the poor are
restricted by the lottery of birth to slum dwellings in the
aftershocks of decolonization, the wealthy travel without
constraint, exploiting pools of cheap labor and lax environmental
regulations. With the growth of borders and resource enclosures,
the deaths of migrants in search of a better life are intimately
connected to climate change, environmental degradation, and the
growth of global wealth inequality.
*** Winner of the 2013 Julian Minghi Outstanding Research Award
presented at the American Association of Geographers annual meeting
*** Two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, why are leading
democracies like the United States, India, and Israel building
massive walls and fences on their borders? Despite predictions of a
borderless world through globalization, these three countries alone
have built an astonishing total of 5,700 kilometers of security
barriers. In this groundbreaking work, Reece Jones analyzes how
these controversial border security projects were justified in
their respective countries, what consequences these physical
barriers have on the lives of those living in these newly
securitized spaces, and what long-term effects the hardening of
political borders will have in these societies and globally. Border
Walls is a bold, important intervention that demonstrates that the
exclusion and violence necessary to secure the borders of the
modern state often undermine the very ideals of freedom and
democracy the barriers are meant to protect.
