Description
This interdisciplinary anthology addresses the criticism that previous investigations of borders often lack complexity and, therefore, fall short. Instead, the authors assess the complex interplay of elements and dimensions of borders and show how this gives rise to instances of disorder/order and how such disorder/order becomes socially and spatially effective. They discuss principles of complexity-oriented border research, the significance of borders in emergent disorder/order formations and border demarcations as examples of social disorder/order in European border regions, the EU’s and US’ migration systems, and virtual realities. This book makes an important contribution to the emerging complexity shift in current border studies.

Reviews
»Taken together, these twelve chapters provide a crash course in contemporary border studies. With its elaborations on the complexity of borders (or border research), the book provides a significant contribution to the theoretical and conceptual development of border studies and makes visible the added value of overcoming disciplinary research perspectives. [...] the added value of the work is undeniable. Despite major theoretical and methodological advances in border studies in recent years and despite the commonplace multidimensionality of a productive approach to borders, an elaborated meta-reflection on the performativity of the interaction of individual facets of borders has been missing. With the concept of Border Complexities, the book aims to address this gap.«
