Description
Controlling national borders has become a key concern for contemporary states. However, border control extends beyond patrolling territorial boundaries to encompass various practices that take place at different levels, including in workplaces, hospitals, and schools. These practices construct, reproduce, and contest borders, shaping the rights and obligations associated with belonging to a nation-state. This book offers a systematic exploration of state bordering and its role in national and global governance. Based on original research, it provides a nuanced understanding of how these processes affect all members of society, not just marginalized groups. The resulting uncertainties lead to people living in grey zones, excluded from protection and often denied basic human rights. By examining the complexities of state bordering, this book sheds light on the multifaceted nature of national governance and its impact on individuals and communities.
