Border Encounters: Asymmetry and Proximity at Europe's Frontiers
Edited by Jutta Lauth Bacas and William Kavanagh. Berghahn Books, New York
and Oxford.
Among the tremendous changes affecting Europe in recent decades, those
concerning political frontiers have been some of the most significant.
International borders are being opened in some regions while being
redefined or reinforced in others. The social relationships of those living
in these borderland regions are also changing fundamentally. This volume
investigates, from a local, ground-up perspective, what is happening at
some of these border encounters: face-to-face interactions and relations of
compliance and confrontation, where people are bargaining, exchanging goods
and information, and manoeuvring beyond state boundaries.

Kind regards,
Jutta Lauth Bacas
