Two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, why are the notable democracies of the US, India, and Israel building massive walls and fences on their borders? Despite predictions of a borderless world through globalization, these three countries alone have built security barriers totaling an astonishing 5,700 km. Border Walls analyzes how these controversial walls were justified, their impact on those living behind them, and the long-term effects of the hardening of political boundaries.

Vijay Prashad, author of 'The Darker Nations: A People's History of the Third World'.
'At a time when many commentators are preoccupied by forces undermining the power and authority of the territorial state, 'Border Walls' serves as an important reminder that the modernist political-territorial order still matters. Reece Jones convincingly shows that the border security arrangements of the past decade are likely to be among the most enduring consequences of the global 'war on terror' - not just for how people move around and use space, but for how they think about the political geographic organization of the planet.'
Alexander B. Murphy, Department of Geography, University of Oregon
'In a compelling analysis of the political agendas, identity politics and growing civil militarization underlying the construction of border barriers between neighboring counties and peoples, Reece Jones makes a significant contribution to the emerging but vital field of securitization studies.'
Jeff Halper, Director of the Israeli Committee Against Demolitions (ICAHD)
'Reece Jones provides an incisive and lucid examination of why wall-like barriers have become the tool of choice of so many countries along their geographical perimeters in the post-9-11 era. In doing so, he compellingly demonstrates not only how boundaries are produced, but also how they shape those within, and the relations with peoples and places beyond, in worrisome ways. Empirically rich, theoretically sophisticated, and highly accessible, 'Border Walls' is an important and valuable book.'
Joseph Nevins, author of 'Dying to Live: A Story of U.S. Immigration in an Age of Global Apartheid'
