Borders represent an intriguing paradox as globalization continues to leap barriers at a vigorous pace, merging economies and cultures through world trade, economic integration, the mass media, the Internet, and increasingly mobile populations. At the same time, the political boundaries separating peoples remain pervasive and problematic. Borders and Border Politics in a Globalizing World offers a carefully selected group of readings to enhance student understanding of the complexities of border regions. The reader brings together key writings on the histories of borders, their social development, their politics, and the daily life that characterizes them. The authors place their analyses of these issues in an international context, stressing how borders influence, and how they are influenced by, global processes. The selections provide a window on our current understanding of human interactions at and along national and interethnic boundaries, interactions that will characterize borders and border politics for decades to come.Drawing on a worldwide set of case studies, this text divides border issues into seven thematic categories: borders as barriers; borders, migrants, and refugees; borders and partitioned groups; borders, perceptions and culture; borders and the environment; borders, goods, and services; and maritime and space borders. An excellent text for courses on boundaries, ethnicity, and international relations, this collection of cutting-edge information and analysis on borders and border politics in the context of ongoing globalization will shed light both upon international and subnational boundaries and upon the unfolding processes of globalization.

This comprehensive survey systematically explores the dynamic historic and contemporary interface between Mexico and the United States along the shared 1,954-mile international land boundary. Now fully updated and revised, the book provides an overview of the history of the region and traces the economic cycles and social movements from the 1880s through the second decade of the twenty-first century. The border region shares characteristics of both nations while maintaining an internal social and economic coherence that transcends its divisive international boundary. The authors conclude with an in-depth analysis of key contemporary issues. These include industrial development and manufacturing, bilateral trade, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, rapid urbanization, border culture, population and migration issues, environmental crisis and climate change, Native Americans, cooperation and conflict at the border, drug trafficking and violence, the border wall and security, populist national leaders and the border, and the Covid-19 pandemic at the border. They also place the border in its global context, examining it as a region caught between the developed and developing world and highlighting the continued importance of borders in a rapidly globalizing world. Richly illustrated with photographs, maps, charts, and up-to-date statistical tables, this book is an invaluable resource for all those interested in borderlands and U.S.-Mexican relations.

Este libro de divulgación científica tiene por objetivo revisar, pensar y actualizar los debates más recientes sobre las regiones en el marco del proceso globalizador. La obra aporta contenido académico con reflexiones sobre las regiones y lo regional en el contexto de la globalización en el 2021 y observa las marchas y contramar-chas de dicho proceso, cada vez más convulso con el advenimiento de la pandemia global del sars-Cov-2. Este libro se divide en tres partes: la primera trata sobre las regiones globales, la segunda sobre la región en la integración regional y en la pers-pectiva global y, por último, la tercera se enfoca en las regiones transfronterizas. En su conjunto, se ofrece un abanico tanto de estudios empíricos como de interpreta-ciones teóricas que, si bien no representan una visión unitaria del fenómeno y de la interacción renovada entre globalización, integración regional, regionalismo, re-gión y regionalidad, sí permiten observar los temas desde ángulos que contribuyen a iluminar su complejidad y los escenarios futuros como proceso económico y po-lítico en constante revisión. Se incorporan elementos que ayudan a comprender de forma apropiada la profundidad de los cambios y apuntan a motivar la genera-ción de más reflexiones y estudios sobre la región y el aspecto regional, en los es-cenarios micro y macro. El estado actual del pensamiento regional está cambiando constantemente y su análisis es proclive a influir en su desarrollo y evolución. Por ello, en esta obra, los autores atienden a parte de esa necesidad con la propiedad de su respectiva disciplina científica y su área de interés investigativo, explicando y reflexionando sobre los cambios, las razones de ser y las características de la región en medio de la globalización.
