Despite predictions of a borderless world through globalization, these three countries alone have built an astonishing total of 5,700 kilometers of security barriers. In this groundbreaking work, Reece Jones analyzes how these controversial border security projects were justified in their respective countries, what consequences these physical barriers have on the lives of those living in these newly securitized spaces, and what long-term effects the hardening of political borders will have in these societies and globally.Border Walls is a bold, important intervention that demonstrates that the exclusion and violence necessary to secure the borders of the modern state often undermine the very ideals of freedom and democracy the barriers are meant to protect.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmItem Weight: 295gAuthor: Reece JonesGenre: Law & PoliticsType: Politics & GovernmentRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
