Book Synopsis The Three U.S.-Mexico Border Wars by : Tony Payan
Download or read book The Three U.S.-Mexico Border Wars written by Tony Payan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the three central issues that continue to dominate the U.S.-Mexico relationship today: drugs, immigration, and security. Nowhere is this more palpable than at the 2,000-mile border shared by the two countries. The U.S.-Mexico border remains a hot topic in the news—and a contentious one. This second edition of a popular work brings readers up to date on what is really going on at the U.S.-Mexico border and why. The book offers a detailed, history-based examination of the evolution of current conditions on the border, arguing that they exist due to a steady growth in the security concerns of the United States over almost two centuries. The author shows how the border has gone through four historical stages that, ultimately, have crippled the region, sacrificing its ability to produce prosperity in exchange for greater security. Combining depth and breadth, the book covers the economic relationship between Mexico and the United States, the deployment of technology, the bureaucratic interests that control the border landscape, the democratic deficit, and a detrimental lack of policy coordination. Issues such as drug trafficking and homeland security are considered as well. Demonstrating the internal and contradictory logic of American policy toward the border, the author argues that current conditions could lead to a return of authoritarianism in Mexico and a concurrent rise in anti-American sentiment.

Book Synopsis Dependent America? by : Stephen Clarkson
Download or read book Dependent America? written by Stephen Clarkson and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative work documents how Canada and Mexico offer the United States open markets for its investments and exports, massive flows of skilled and unskilled labour, and vast resource inputs - all of which boost its size and competitiveness - more than does any other US partner. They are also Uncle Sam's most important allies in supporting its anti-terrorist and anti-narcotics security. Clarkson and Mildenberger explain the paradox of these two countries' simultaneous importance and powerlessness by showing how the US government has systematically neutralized their potential influence.
Book Synopsis Theory of the Border by : Thomas Nail
Download or read book Theory of the Border written by Thomas Nail and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite -- and perhaps because of -- increasing global mobility, there are more types of borders today than ever before in history. Borders of all kinds define every aspect of social life in the twenty-first century. From the biometric data that divides the smallest aspects of our bodies to the aerial drones that patrol the immense expanse of our domestic and international airspace, we are defined by borders. They can no longer simply be understood as the geographical divisions between nation-states. Today, their form and function has become too complex, too hybrid. What we need now is a theory of the border that can make sense of this hybridity across multiple domains of social life. Rather than viewing borders as the result or outcome of pre-established social entities like states, Thomas Nail reinterprets social history from the perspective of the continual and constitutive movement of the borders that organize and divide society in the first place. Societies and states are the products of bordering, Nail argues, not the other way around. Applying his original movement-oriented theoretical framework "kinopolitics" to several major historical border regimes (fences, walls, cells, and checkpoints), Theory of the Border pioneers a new methodology of "critical limology," that provides fresh tools for the analysis of contemporary border politics.
Download or read book Frontera written by Sergio Chapa and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Frontera offers a unique look at the communities on both sides of the nearly 2,000-mile border shared by the United States and Mexico. The region has a reputation of being a dangerous place with Border Patrol playing a "cat-and-mouse game" with drug cartels and irregular/undocumented immigrants. However, the book goes beyond those stereotypes by offering the reader a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of the region in the era of COVID-19 and before, as well as an understanding of the region's rich cultural life. Styled as a coffee table book, Frontera provides a mix of photos and information about each of the 23 U.S. border counties and the 37 Mexican border municipalities. These images and materials capture some of the beauty and contrasts of what Alan Bersin calls El Tercer País (The Third Country)"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the center of the 2,000 mile U.S.-Mexico border, a sprawling transnational urban space has mushroomed into a metropolitan region with over two million people whose livelihoods depend on global manufacturing, cross-border trade, and border control jobs. Our volume advances knowledge on urban space, gender, education, security, and work, focusing on Ciudad Juárez, the export-processing (maquiladora) manufacturing capital of the Americas and the infamous site of femicide and outlier murder rates connected with arms and drug trafficking. Given global economic trends, this transnational urban region is a likely paradigmatic future for other world regions.

Book Synopsis Mexico's "narco-refugees" by : Paul Rexton Kan
Download or read book Mexico's "narco-refugees" written by Paul Rexton Kan and published by Strategic Studies Institute U. S. Army War College. This book was released on 2011 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2006, when Mexican president Felipe Calderon declared war on the drug cartels, there has been a rise in the number of Mexican nationals seeking political asylum in the United States to escape the ongoing drug cartel violence in their home country. Political asylum cases in general are claimed by those who are targeted for their political beliefs or ethnicity in countries that are repressive or are failing. Mexico is neither. Nonetheless, if the health of the Mexican state declines because criminal violence continues, increases, or spreads, U.S. communities will feel an even greater burden on their systems of public safety and public health from "narco-refugees." Given the ever increasing cruelty of the cartels, the question is whether and how the U.S. Government should begin to prepare for what could be a new wave of migrants coming from Mexico. Allowing Mexicans to claim asylum could potentially open a flood gate of migrants to the United States during a time when there is a very contentious national debate over U.S. immigration laws pertaining to illegal immigrants. On the other hand, to deny the claims of asylum seekers and return them to Mexico where they might very well be killed, strikes at the heart of American values of justice and humanitarianism. This monograph focuses on the asylum claims of Mexicans who unwillingly leave Mexico rather than those who willingly enter the United States legally or illegally. To navigate in this complexity will require greater understanding and vigilance at all levels of the U.S. Government.
