Interrogating Linkages Between Borders, Regions, and Border Studies

Dhananjay Tripathi

Journal of Borderlands Studies, 2015, vol. 30, issue 2, 189-201

Abstract: The paper is an attempt to understand the impact of regions on border studies. It has been argued that even in this era of globalization borders exist but the conceptual understandings of borders are region specific. In an integrated region, the meaning of the border is different and border studies are more interdisciplinary in their approach. Whereas in regions where regional integration is still in its nascent stage, borders are regarded as dividing lines between two states and studies related to borders commonly linked with security studies; barring the development of a multidisciplinary approach towards the subject. In this paper, examples from Europe and South Asia are taken to substantiate the main arguments.
