Riassunto

A Companion to Border Studies introduces an exciting and expanding field of interdisciplinary research, through the writing of an international array of scholars, from diverse perspectives that include anthropology, development studies, geography, history, political science and sociology.

• Explores how nations and cultural identities are being transformed by their dynamic, shifting borders where mobility is sometimes facilitated, other times impeded or prevented
• Offers an array of international views which together form an authoritative guide for students, instructors and researchers
• Reflects recent significant growth in the importance of understanding the distinctive characteristics of borders and frontiers, including cross-border cooperation, security and controls, migration and population displacements, hybridity, and transnationalism

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"This book, with its interdisciplinary team of authors from many world regions, shows the state of the art in this research field admirably."
Ulf Hannerz, Stockholm University

"This volume will be the definitive work on borders and border–related processes for years into the future. The editors have done an outstanding job of identifying key themes, and of assembling influential scholars to address these themes."
David Nugent, Emory University

"This urgently needed Companion, edited by two leading figures of border studies, reflects past insights and showcases new directions: a must read for understanding territory, power and the state."
Dr. Nick Vaughan–Williams, University of Warwick

"This impressive collection will have a broad appeal beyond specialist border studies. Anyone with an interest in the nation–state, nationalism, ethnicity, political geography or, indeed, the whole historical project of the modern world system will want to have access to a copy. The substantive scope is global and the intellectual reach deep and wide. Simply indispensable."
Richard Jenkins, University of Sheffield
