Product description

Through 70 stunning infographics and maps, this exciting and timely book looks at the borders that define our current world.

There are borders that are easily crossed and borders that are entirely impassable; there are visible borders – sometimes demarcated by fences, walls, flags and posts – and invisible borders – not seen on a physical map and oftentimes restrictive of access to targeted populations; there are land borders, maritime, political and cultural borders…

Presenting 70 case studies through maps and infographics, two experts in geopolitics reflect on the modern world through the lens of border lines helping the reader make sense of a complex world. Atlas of Borders addresses the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the repercussions of Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the migration of peoples around the globe. Featuring up-to-date maps, the book also covers the aquatic borders of the Svalbard Islands, the borders of the eastern Mediterranean and the Blue Line dividing Lebanon and Israel.

In a confusing and at times chaotic world that seemingly defies interpretation, this atlas sheds light on larger issues behind the lines that separate or connect us.
