Borders and Border Walls
This book addresses the recent evolution of borderlines around the world as an
attempt to control transnational movements with a view to securitization of
borders rooted in the need to control mobility and preserve national identities.
This book moves beyond physical borders and studies new manifestations of
borders such as technological and symbolic walls. It brings together scholars
from various academic fields such as geography, political science and Border
Studies to examine the various movements, functions and articulations of
international borders. It explores two main issues: How international borders
have become enforced lines of demarcation and division, reinforcing national
identity and impacting national and regional dynamics; and the material and
immaterial, discursive and concrete expressions of borders and the impacts of
the transformation of bodies into threat to be monitored, as daily lives become
sites of border enforcement.
Offering multidisciplinary insights on the growing phenomenon of border
walls, this book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of
Border Studies, European Studies, International Relations, Political Geography,
and Regional Studies.

Geopolitics is a thriving area of intellectual enquiry. The
Routledge Geopolitics
Series
invites scholars to publish their original and innovative research in
geopolitics and related fields. We invite proposals that are theoretically
informed and empirically rich without prescribing research designs, methods
and/or theories. Geopolitics is a diverse field making its presence felt through-
out the arts and humanities, social sciences and physical and environmental
sciences. Formal, practical and popular geopolitical studies are welcome as are
research in areas informed by borders and bordering, elemental geo-politics,
feminism, identity, law, race, resources, territory and terrain, materiality and
objects. The series is also global in geographical scope and interested in
proposals that focus on past, present and future geopolitical imaginations,
practices and representations.
As the series is aimed at upper-level undergraduates, graduate students and
faculty, we welcome edited book proposals as well as monographs and textbooks
which speak to geopolitics and its relationship to wider human geography, politics
and international relations, anthropology, sociology, and the interdisciplinary
fields of social sciences, arts and humanities.
