Said Saddiki examines separation barriers and border-control systems in different parts of the world. The book connects the physical construction of walls and fences with the legal and political purposes their builders assign to them.
Case studies include Israel, India, the southern European border, Morocco and the border between Mexico and the United States. Saddiki compares their structures, functions and effectiveness while considering the tensions between increased global connections and the expansion of territorial controls. The comparative approach gives readers a way to examine different kinds of barriers within a shared analytical framework.
