While borders may seem more permeable than they once were, can it really be said that we live in a "borderless world"? Holding the Line considers the changing roles of modern borders, contending that they not only remain relevant but also have become increasingly important as a site for negotiating the competing demands of globalization and national sovereignty. Exploring contemporary borders from a broad range of perspectives -- legal, environmental, sociological, economic, geopolitical, and historical -- and using examples from various regions in Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, the contributors use a holistic approach to understand the impact of boundaries on both society and space. They demonstrate that any attempt to create a methodological and conceptual framework for the understanding of boundaries must be concerned with the process of bounding, rather than simply the means through which physical lines of separation are delimited and demarcated. Borders, they conclude, are as much metaphors as they are realities. 606 $aBoundaries 606 $aSovereignty 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aInternational relations 615 0$aBoundaries. 615 0$aSovereignty. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a320.1/2 701 $aTownsend Gault$b Ian$f1952-$01506362 701 $aNicol$b Heather N$g(Heather Nora),$f1953-$0881672 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783750003321 996 $aHolding the line$93736575 997 $aUNINA
