- Written to serve as a gateway for readers new to border studies
- Offers both a historical and contemporary treatment of borders
- Provides readers with a basic understanding of the importance of borders to debates about the environment, politics, immigration, and economics
- Covers transnational communities, security threats from terrorist groups, migration regulation, rights of indigenous peoples, the legal status of the sea and outer space), environmental sustainability, and the emergence of neo-liberal economics, amongst other topics
Compelling and accessible, this Very Short Introduction challenges the perception of borders as passive lines on a map, revealing them instead to be integral forces in the economic, social, political, and environmental processes that shape our lives. Highlighting the historical development and continued relevance of borders, Alexander C. Diener and Joshua Hagen offer a powerful counterpoint to the idea of an imminent borderless world, underscoring the
impact borders have on a range of issues, such as economic development, inter- and intra-state conflict, global terrorism, migration, nationalism, international law, environmental sustainability, and natural resource management. Diener and Hagen demonstrate how and why borders have been, are currently, and will undoubtedly remain hot topics across the social sciences and in the global headlines for years to come.Readership: Geographers, political scientists, anthropologists, sociologists, historians, international relations and law experts, and their students; especially courses in world regional and political geography, international relations and globalization, and political anthropology and sociology
