Summary:
In an era of climate change, resource scrambles and digital revolution, when nations are rejecting open borders and turning inward, what will become of our borders? In Border Wars, Professor Klaus Dodds takes us on a journey into tomorrow's geopolitical conflicts. From no man's lands to the space race, we discover how the best-known border conflicts of our age are intensifying, and explore the dangerous and often unexpected sites of border conflict that are revealing themselves today, from the highest peaks to deep under sea. Along the way, we will ask what borders reveal of our modern world. How are they built; what do they mean for citizens and governments; how do they help us understand our political past and, most importantly, predict our planetary future?
