Description

Borders are often seen as mere lines on maps, but they play a profound role in shaping our lives. This Very Short Introduction challenges common perceptions and explores how borders impact economic development, inequality, conflict, migration, nationalism, international law, human rights, environmental sustainability, climate change, public health, and natural resource management.

By examining the complex relationships between borders and various issues, authors Alexander C. Diener and Joshua Hagen demonstrate their significance in global history and contemporary international events. This concise volume will appeal to a broad audience of scholars, practitioners, and students interested in understanding current events and the social sciences.

Demarcations of political and social spaces, whether physical borders, electoral districts, economic spaces, or private communities, protect, structure, and shape our lives. This book provides a powerful counterpoint to the idea of an emerging borderless world, highlighting the enduring importance of borders in domestic politics and international affairs.
