Published 30 April 2004
International in scope and analytical in approach, Arbitrary Borders: Political Boundaries in World History examines political demarcations that have occurred around the world. While borders may reflect and affirm the cultural, ethnic, or linguistic perimeters that define a people or a country, this series explores how the migration of goods, resources, and people works to undermine the separation imposed by such borders.
