Borders, Security, and Belonging

What it covers

Despite decades of globalisation, borders and walls are everywhere and growing in response to mass migration, conflict, war, pandemics and efforts to secure the state. Borders reflect, reinforce, create and sometimes disrupt existing dynamics of power, equality and difference. Border studies brings together a range of different disciplines such as geopolitics, international relations and security studies, to understand how borders both divide and unite humans and space within and across societies.
