Download Borders: A Very Short Introduction AudioBook Free
Compelling and accessible, this Very Brief Introduction issues the perception of edges as passive lines on a map, exposing them instead to be important pushes in the monetary, social, politics, and environmental operations that condition our lives. Highlighting the historical development and persisted relevance of edges, Alexander Diener and Joshua Hagen give a powerful counterpoint to the idea of an imminent borderless world, underscoring the impact edges have on a range of issues, such as monetary development, inter- and intra-state discord, global terrorism, migration, nationalism, international laws, environmental sustainability, and natural resource management. Diener and Hagen display how and why edges have been, are, and will definitely remain hot topics across the social sciences and in the global headlines for years to come. This compact volume will charm to a broad, interdisciplinary audience of scholars and students, including geographers, politics researchers, anthropologists, sociologists, historians, international relations and laws experts, as well as lay readers thinking about understanding current situations.
