The topics of migration, mobility, and borders have gained a new relevance in the world after the September, 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Towers in New York. The world has become acutely aware that national borders have taken on a different meaning and are no longer secure mechanisms that provide for the safety of any country’s citizens. At the same time, international organizations and agreements have encouraged the movement of people as well as goods across borders. On one hand, then, borders have become more permeable, but on the other, the forces of control and constraint have simultaneously become stronger, now in the name of “homeland security.” These countervailing forces make the examination of borders and how they operate politically and culturally that much more important in the modern world.
The authors of this volume elucidate different aspects of how borders become constructed and permeated through analyses on a range of topics, including migration, colonialism, refugees, minority politics, international politics, and identity politics. This group of international authors addresses how these issues are situated in different parts of the world, including Europe, South-East Asia, Australia, and the U.S.
