Reviews
'Drawing and marking spatial boundaries is one of the fundamental ways in which human societies organize themselves. Finally with this volume we have a critical synthesis between empirical studies of political boundaries and theoretical reflection on the various social practices of bordering. I expect this book to have a significant impact on future research and in the classroom.' John Agnew, UCLA, USA. 'Nailing the myth of a borderless world once and for all, this fascinating mix of authors take the geographer's traditional concern for borders into a myriad of new and subtle directions. The message that borders are inherent to contemporary globalization practices and discourses needs to be heard beyond geography. This book is essential reading for all scholars of globalization.' Professor Peter Taylor, Ghent University, Belgium.
