Can Donald Trump really build that wall? What does Brexit mean for Ireland's border? And what would happen if Elon Musk declared himself president of the moon?

In Border Wars, Professor Klaus Dodds takes us on a journey into the geopolitical conflict of tomorrow in an eye-opening tour of the world's best-known, most dangerous and most unexpected border conflicts from the Gaza Strip to the space race.

Along the way, we'll discover just what borders truly mean in the modern world: how are they built; what do they mean for citizens and governments; how do they help understand our political past and, most importantly, our diplomatic future?

Defines our greatest challenges well, but cannot effectively answer how we must solve them with improvements to the system for everyone. Typical academic style, interesting but slightly frustrating.

Too problem orientated

Interesting book but like many written by Western authors, extremely one-sided. I live in the western world and I'm sick of it. The author mostly criticises China and Russia sometimes directly sometimes by deliberately choosing examples. No word of proper criticism of Western countries, neither the Middle East nor European ones. As the Profesor of some famous London Univesity, he should be aware of thousands of immigrants living in Calle and southern Spain. On the EU borders. No mentioned West Bank or Arabic Penisula. It is probably not PC due to the grants available at the university. This book reminds me of many others about the Second World War written during the Cold War, on both sides of course, where the point of view depends on where you sit. Recommended but with cautions.

Informative but one sided.

An insightful deep-dive into why borders matter and how they could evolve, further impacting our lives in this century. Fascinating research and engagingly delivered by Leemore Marrett Jr.

Borders (continue to) matter

So the Prof is happy for open boarders without reflecting on firstly the chaos that would develop as I think people would only move in one direction. Also, without borders the nation state no longer exists so why should I or anybody pay taxes to a government that has no authority or relevance? Virtue signalling for a tiny band of hyper liberals that can pontificate with their mates so demonstrate how much they care yet would never suffer the consequences of their theories - I wonder if the Prof would be ok with me moving into his house free of charge? There was some interesting stuff re space and the moon but overall lacked historical insight and the above mentioned guardian style wet dream.

A book for those that can afford luxury beliefs
