Description

Border Politics: A New Approach to Borders in Global Politics Nick Vaughan-Williams presents a distinctive theoretical approach to understanding borders in global politics. This book explores how the concept of borders is being reconfigured in contemporary political life, drawing on critical resources from poststructuralist thought. Vaughan-Williams examines the relationship between borders, security and sovereign power, using thinkers such as Agamben, Derrida and Foucault to inform his analysis. He argues that a more pluralized and radicalized view of what borders are and where they might be found is necessary, and uses the problem of borders to critically explore poststructuralist scholarship. This paperback edition offers a fresh perspective on a key issue in global politics, making it an important resource for scholars and students of international relations, security studies and political theory.
