Recenzje

Over the course of the book, Schain explores the evolution of border policy on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as how these policies have been enforced in Europe and the US. In both cases, problems related to migration and global interconnectedness have been framed by a complex web of interest groups, political parties, and federal competition. Perhaps Schain's most important point is that in all cases border policy has become more demanding for migrants seeking entry into nations with heavily guarded borders, but for different reasons. European nations tend to focus on questions of potential integration, while US concerns focus more on unauthorized entry and residence. Territoriality thus persists in the globalized, digitally connected world.
