Challenged Borderlands : Transcending Political and Cultural Boundaries EPUB
by Vera Pavlakovich-Kochi, Barbara J. Morehouse
Part of the Border Regions Series series
EPUB
Description
In the early 1990s, borders within Europe and between the United States and Mexico began to open.
The increasing flow of goods, capital, ideas and people across boundaries promised to reduce physical and cognitive distances.
Simultaneously, challenges to identity have arisen within and between the European nation-states, driven not only by internal cultural and political dynamics, but also by processes of globalization.
Concurrently, the US-Mexican border emerged in public consciousness as a location of new opportunities, largely due to public perception of the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This book explores some of the contradictory, yet simultaneous, processes affecting border regions.
A team of leading scientists offers a wide range of perspectives on global, national, regional and local processes, and provides a useful matrix for understanding their complex, multilayered implications.
Key concepts such as globalization, borders and identities are illustrated through local and regional case studies.
