Sommario/riassunto

Two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, why are the notable democracies of the US, India, and Israel building massive walls and fences on their borders? Despite predictions of a borderless world through globalization, these three countries alone have built security barriers totaling an astonishing 5,700 km. Border Walls analyzes how these controversial walls were justified, their impact on those living behind them, and the long-term effects of the hardening of political boundaries.
