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.
