*** Winner of the 2013 Julian Minghi Outstanding Research Award presented at the American Association of Geographers annual meeting *** Two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, why are leading democracies like the United States, India, and Israel building massive walls and fences on their borders? Despite predictions of a borderless world through globalization, these three countries alone have built an astonishing total of 5,700 kilometers of security barriers. In this groundbreaking work, Reece Jones analyzes how these controversial border security projects were justified in their respective countries, what consequences these physical barriers have on the lives of those living in these newly securitized spaces, and what long-term effects the hardening of political borders will have in these societies and globally. Border Walls is a bold, important intervention that demonstrates that the exclusion and violence necessary to secure the borders of the modern state often undermine the very ideals of freedom and democracy the barriers are meant to protect.

On September 10, 2001, the United States was the most open country in the world. But in the aftermath of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil, the U.S. government began to close its borders in an effort to fight terrorism. The Bush administration's goal was to build new lines of defense without stifling the flow of people and ideas from abroad that has helped build the world's most dynamic economy. Unfortunately, it didn't work out that way. Based on extensive interviews with the administration officials who were charged with securing the border after 9/11, and with many innocent people whose lives have been upended by the new security regulations, The Closing of the American Border is a striking and compelling assessment of the dangers faced by a nation that cuts itself off from the rest of the world.

A nationally recognized security expert reveals the REAL Terrorist threat from the U.S. Southern Border and already INSIDE America. Terrorists on the Border and in Our Country reveals how radical, left-wing, liberal politicians and woke, progressive, "defund-the-police," and "stop-the-wall," nation-wrecking policies caused this crisis and the steps the country must take to combat crime, protect the homeland and its citizens and stop the growing existential challenge to Amercian freedoms and way of life. Charles Marino outlines how and why Biden's open border policies will ultimately destroy America from the Rio Grande up. Some of the catastrophic problems created, enabled, or increased by weak borders include: Approximately 5 million migrants since the start of the Biden administration. Migrants from over 130 countries have been encountered. Over 100 migrants encountered on the terrorist watch list. Approaching 2 million "getaways" (unknown migrants who are not apprehended). Cartels are more empowered and funded than any time in history. Record breaking amounts of deadly fentanyl entering our cities. Increased violent crime, nationwide. Strain on infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, criminal justice systems, law enforcement, etc. Human trafficking/Sex trafficking. Erosion of American values and culture. Decriminalization of border and immigration laws. Marino offers his expert recommendations--a step-by-step corrective and desperately needed policy roadmap--on how America can be saved. Before it's too late. THE THREAT IS NOT JUST ON THE BORDER, IT IS ALREADY HERE.

The Mumbai blasts of 1993, the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001, Mumbai 26/11—cross-border terrorism has continued unabated. What can India do to motivate Pakistan to do more to prevent such attacks? In the nuclear times that we live in, where a military counter-attack could escalate to destruction beyond imagination, overt warfare is clearly not an option. But since outright peace-making seems similarly infeasible, what combination of coercive pressure and bargaining could lead to peace? The authors provide, for the first time, a comprehensive assessment of the violent and non-violent options available to India for compelling Pakistan to take concrete steps towards curbing terrorism originating in its homeland. They draw on extensive interviews with senior Indian and Pakistani officials, in service and retired, to explore the challenges involved in compellence and to show how non-violent coercion combined with clarity on the economic, social and reputational costs of terrorism can better motivate Pakistan to pacify groups involved in cross-border terrorism. Not War, Not Peace? goes beyond the much discussed theories of nuclear deterrence and counterterrorism strategy to explore a new approach to resolving old conflicts.
