Book Synopsis EU Enlargement, Region Building and Shifting Borders of Inclusion and Exclusion by : James Wesley Scott
Download or read book EU Enlargement, Region Building and Shifting Borders of Inclusion and Exclusion written by James Wesley Scott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2004 entry of 10 Central and Eastern European countries, along with Malta and Cyprus, into the EU has caused a huge shift in the EU's external boundaries. The socio-economic and political transformations that this shift has caused not only suggest new regional development opportunities, but also many potential problems and tensions. While the EU insists that enlargement will not signify 'new divisions', processes of inclusion and exclusion and the imposition of visa restrictions on non-EU citizens could pose obstacles to co-operation, conjuring fears of an emerging 'fortress Europe' that effectively divides the continent. Illustrated with case studies from Central and Eastern European border areas, this book examines capacities for region building across national borders in within the context of EU enlargement, synthesizing the various insights provided by local information and suggesting ways forward for the future development of the EU's 'Wider Europe' strategy.
Book Synopsis Shifting Borders by : Jean-François Bélisle
Download or read book Shifting Borders written by Jean-François Bélisle and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting Borders brings together new research on visual culture by scholars located across North America. This compilation of essays explores the notion of borders in a range of domains including art history, architecture, art theory, video games, performance art, artistic creation, and photography. The authors seek to address contemporary concerns affecting larger society through the lens of visual culture. The world is becoming increasingly globalized, as nations and multilateral organizations advocate freer international trade, the sharing of technological and political ideas, and multiculturalism. Yet, despite a rhetorical attachment to the message of lower national barriers, there has been a concomitant rise in veiled borders. These barriers promise to maintain cultural exclusion and economic hegemony. The essays in this volume share a desire to re-examine inherited knowledge systems, to redefine the terms of debate, and create spaces that more accurately reflect a just reality. While this is not the unique purview of Postmodern ethics, what is novel here is the willingness of the authors of these essays, and the artists they investigate, to identify with, dwell in, and expand upon the margins of their particular subject matter. The essays presented in Shifting Borders have the force to open up new forms and understandings of cultural difference and initiate new perspectives in and beyond their respective domains.
Book Synopsis Shifting Borders by : Stefano Jacoviello
Download or read book Shifting Borders written by Stefano Jacoviello and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-19 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few decades, creolisation has become a recurrent feature in the works of scholars from many disciplines, serving as a useful metaphor for understanding contemporary societies in a “world of globalisation”. More than a metaphor, creolisation can be conceived as a powerful analytical and theoretical tool in order to grasp the current dynamics of intercultural encounter and conflict, allowing a close look at the production of new subjectivities and identities. In accordance with this viewpoint, in this book, creolisation processes have been investigated under the interdisciplinary gaze of a wide European research group, which has tried to detect creole patterns in the fields of literature, arts, politics, and the labour market, as well as in the daily practices of people who enact peculiar strategies in order to posit themselves in highly exclusive contexts. By focusing on the multiplicity of shifting borders that today articulate the sense of daily life along multiple contiguous universes, this collective work addresses problems of citizenship, intercultural politics, and difficult cohabitations, starting from the analysis of their narratives and discursive representations. This volume thus has much to say about moving and mixing in our times, and shows in more ways how thinking about creolist and related notions can be very fruitful.
Download or read book Shifting Borders written by Kent A. Ono and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like articles representing the positions of proponents of the measure, those representing opponents construct the nation as potentially in danger as a result of undocumented immigration. How do we learn to recognize the damning effects of good rhetorical intentions? And where will we find arguments which escape this trap that permeates the liberal social policy world? Shifting Borders uses an evaluation of the debate over California Proposition 187 to demonstrate how this quandary is best understood by close interrogation of mainstream reports and debates and by bringing to the fore voices that are often left out of mediated discussions. It is these voices outside the mainstream, so called outlaw discourses, that hold the best possibilities for real social change. To illustrate their claim, the authors present dominant and outlaw discourses around Proposition 187, from television reports, internet chat sites, and religious discourse to coverage of the Los Angeles Times. Their critique ably demonstrates how difficult it is to maintain a position outside the mainstream, but also how important it is for the press, citizens, and scholars to actively search out such voices. The find
Book Synopsis The EU's Shifting Borders by : Klaus Bachmann
Download or read book The EU's Shifting Borders written by Klaus Bachmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU’s internal borders have become mostly invisible. Today, external borders are at the centre of controversy about an alleged 'fortress Europe'. Using different theoretical and methodological perspectives this book examines the challenges facing the EU’s external borders, including Neighborhood Policy, migration issues and the diffusion of norms and values to other countries. Divided into two parts, the book first presents different theoretical approaches and empirical studies of the EU’s external borders, mobility and security issues. It is an invaluable guide to border research within a framework of European Integration and Globalization Studies. The second part of this volume focuses on the analyses of the EU’s Neighbourhood Policy, the approach to Eastern Europe and EU energy policy. Expert contributors collaborate to explore debates about migration, the EU as a normative, 'civil' power, energy security and the securitization of borders. Highly relevant and insightful, the text provides a timely assessment of EU borders in an increasingly globalized and integrated European neighbourhood. The EU's Shifting Borders will be of interest to students and scholars of European Union Politics and International Relations.
Book Synopsis Polarization, Shifting Borders and Liquid Governance by : Anja Mihr
Download or read book Polarization, Shifting Borders and Liquid Governance written by Anja Mihr and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-26 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open-access book explores the security dynamics amid the polarization, shifting borders, and liquid governance that define the Zeitenwende era in Europe's eastern neighbourhood and Central Asia. Presenting various case studies, the volume unveils the intricate web of border dynamics and practices, including the nuanced interplay of border disputes within the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) member states. The contributions shed new light on how contested borders and liquid modes of governance have impacted the engagement of international organizations such as the European Union (EU), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and OSCE in security crises and conflict prevention. Delving deeper, a special part dissects the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and examines European and international responses. By analyzing the stances of diverse European countries, their neighborhood, and international organizations, this section uncovers commonalities and disparities in their approaches to the Ukrainian crisis.
Book Synopsis Moving (Across) Borders by : Gabriele Brandstetter
Download or read book Moving (Across) Borders written by Gabriele Brandstetter and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As performative and political acts, translation, intervention, and participation are movements that take place across, along, and between borders. Such movements traverse geographic boundaries, affect social distinctions, and challenge conceptual categorizations - while shifting and transforming lines of separation themselves. This book brings together choreographers, movement practitioners, and theorists from various fields and disciplines to reflect upon such dynamics of difference. From their individual cultural backgrounds, they ask how these movements affect related fields such as corporeality, perception, (self-)representation, and expression.
Book Synopsis EU Borders and Shifting Internal Security by : Raphael Bossong
Download or read book EU Borders and Shifting Internal Security written by Raphael Bossong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume analyzes recent key developments in EU border management. In light of the refugee crises in the Mediterranean and the responses on the part of EU member states, this volume presents an in-depth reflection on European border practices and their political, social and economic consequences. Approaching borders as concepts in flux, the authors identify three main trends: the rise of security technologies such as the EUROSUR system, the continued externalization of EU security governance such as border mission training in third states, and the unfolding dynamics of accountability. The contributions show that internal security cooperation in Europe is far from consolidated, since both political oversight mechanisms and the definition of borders remain in flux. This edited volume makes a timely and interdisciplinary contribution to the ongoing academic and political debate on the future of open borders and legitimate security governance in Europe. It offers a valuable resource for scholars in the fields of international security and migration studies, as well as for practitioners dealing with border management mechanisms.
Book Synopsis Shifting Borders by : Emily Butterworth
Download or read book Shifting Borders written by Emily Butterworth and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, containing selected papers from a conference held by the Department of French in the University of Cambridge in 1999, addresses the exciting and challenging figure of the shifting border in modern French literature and literary theory. Using a variety of critical approaches, the contributors map the fluctuating borders in specific literary texts and explore how these moving boundaries reflect on their practice of literary analysis. Inspired by the ideas of European and American thinkers, including Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, Jacques Lacan and Jean-François Lyotard, they consider three major areas of current concern: the construction of identity, the conceptualisation of literary genres and the demarcation of geographical and cultural domains. Applying their insights to a wide-ranging corpus of francophone texts, this volume analyses the work both of canonical figures such as Mallarmé, Proust and Zola and of lesser-known writers such as Aimé Césaire, Assia Djebar and St. John Perse.
Book Synopsis The shifting border: Legal cartographies of migration and mobility by : Ayelet Shachar
Download or read book The shifting border: Legal cartographies of migration and mobility written by Ayelet Shachar and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The border is one of the most urgent issues of our times. We tend to think of a border as a static line, but recent bordering techniques have broken away from the map, as governments have developed legal tools to limit the rights of migrants before and after they enter a country’s territory. The consequent detachment of state power from any fixed geographical marker has created a new paradigm: the shifting border, an adjustable legal construct untethered in space. This transformation upsets our assumptions about waning sovereignty, while also revealing the limits of the populist push toward border-fortification. At the same time, it presents a tremendous opportunity to rethink states’ responsibilities to migrants. This book proposes a new, functional approach to human mobility and access to membership in a world where borders, like people, have the capacity to move.
Book Synopsis Shifting Borders, Negotiating Places by : Brent Adkins
Download or read book Shifting Borders, Negotiating Places written by Brent Adkins and published by Bordighera Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Writing. SHIFTING BORDERS, NEGOTIATING PLACES is a compilation of papers presented at the international conference on cultural studies held at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" in 2000 and indicate some of the many directions scholars working in cultural studies have taken. Presented in both English and Italian (without translation), these papers present investigations sparked by European political and economic unification, globalization, and the place of cultural studies in apprehending and theorizing transnational change. Cultural studies may have taken hold in Italy later than it did in Great Britian and North America, but Italian academia now includes both many enthusiastic practitioners and a committed audience, as the diverse proceedings of this intellectually satisfying conference indicate.

Book Synopsis Shifting Twenty-First-Century Discourses, Borders and Identities by : Oana-Celia Gheorghiu
Download or read book Shifting Twenty-First-Century Discourses, Borders and Identities written by Oana-Celia Gheorghiu and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is spinning around us and we are spinning with it. When changes occur at the geopolitical level, inevitable changes also occur in people’s identity and in the way they see and represent the world. This book looks at this world with new eyes, approaching contemporary history (and herstory) from a scholarly perspective that cancels borders. Emphasis here is laid on migration, geopolitics, global citizenship, human rights, the EU and the non-EU, and East and West, as represented in fiction and drama or translated on television. The first part of the volume deals with migration and alterations in the non-Western world, with constant references to September 11, terrorism and wars, and the Syrian refugee crisis, before the focus moves on to one of the most important migration hosts nowadays, the European Union, discussing its expansion to the East, French President Macron’s call for renewal, and, lastly, a possible beginning of the end, announced by Brexit. This volume is a mirror of the discourses of globalization, one that makes the old self-other dichotomy obsolete. We are all selves in the eye of the storm that is raving around us, bringing change with it.
