A Companion to Border Studies

“Summing Up: Highly recommended.  Upper-division undergraduates and above.”  (Choice, 1 April 2013)

"This book, with its interdisciplinary team of authors from many world regions, shows the state of the art in this research field admirably."
—Ulf Hannerz, Stockholm University

"This volume will be the definitive work on borders and border-related processes for years into the future. The editors have done an outstanding job of identifying key themes, and of assembling influential scholars to address these themes."
—David Nugent, Emory University

"This urgently needed Companion, edited by two leading figures of border studies, reflects past insights and showcases new directions: a must read for understanding territory, power and the state."
—Dr. Nick Vaughan-Williams, University of Warwick

"This impressive collection will have a broad appeal beyond specialist border studies. Anyone with an interest in the nation-state, nationalism, ethnicity, political geography or, indeed, the whole historical project of the modern world system will want to have access to a copy. The substantive scope is global and the intellectual reach deep and wide. Simply indispensable."
—Richard Jenkins, University of Sheffield
