Dear all,
I would be grateful if anybody can suggest me reading on geographical
approaches to borders blockades (between countries) done by social
movements in case of conflicts (e.g. when a group of people are not
allowed to get into a country by police and then they block the
border in order to impede trade and the access of other people). In case
there is nothing published on it, I am also interested in any study you
may know on borders blockades in general.
That is a possible scenario for the days before the IMF & WB summit in
Prague (26-28 september 2000, see http://inpeg.ecn.cz) and any information
can be useful for the social movements that are trying to challenge the
lack of democracy in those global institutions and the impact of their
policies on people and, in general, on life in the planet.
Maybe critical geography can be useful in the long and complex struggle to
improve the living conditions for most people in the world, not just
providing words for discourses but also for actions.
Best wishes,
ricard
