Politics at the Airport brings together leading scholars to examine how airports both shape and are shaped by current political, social, and economic conditions. It broadens our understanding of the connections among power, space, and migration and establishes the airport as critical to the study of politics and global life.
Contributors: Peter Adey, Colin J. Bennett, Gillian Fuller, Francisco R. Klauser, Gallya Lahav, David Lyon, Benjamin J. Muller, Valérie November, Jean Ruegg.
"Airport books tend to be general in tone and overly glamorize the airport as a global node and site of transnationalism -- Politics at the Airport tempers such optimistic readings with a much needed discussion on the politics of mobility, surveillance, and control."-Tim Cresswell
