borders
This page considers borders.
It covers -
introduction
Passports and visas are predicated on notions of borders
- invisible lines on the ground, barbed wire fences and
gates, inspections by customs officials, historic grudges
and aspirations to hold or reclaim territory.
Bordermaking and border enforcement has been a traditional
source of international friction - wars have been fought
over the siting of national demarcations and the treatment
of minorities on the 'wrong' side of a border - and an
engine for the evolution of human
rights. The modern concept of a nation is inextricably
entwined with lines on the map and with lines in people's
heads and hearts.
