The Routledge Handbook of African Borderlands provides a comprehensive analysis of the factors shaping the past, present and future of African borderlands, in all their complexity.

Since precolonial times, African borderlands have served as sites of both prosperity and conflict. In the twenty-first century, many African countries have simultaneously seen an increase in trade and regional integration activities, whilst trying to control deteriorating security conditions in border areas. This book explores these tensions, and considers how borderlands have impacted the economy, political stability, and social cohesion of African states. The book discusses the key conceptual debates related with the establishment of modern boundaries since precolonial times, as well as the methodological challenges associated with conducting research at the margins of the state.

This important interdisciplinary and continent-wide investigation of African border dynamics will be an essential read for researchers across the fields of political science, geography, history, anthropology, international law, and development studies.

Arvustused

This superb book provides essays by the most impressive collection of borderland studies scholars imaginable, both established and up-and-coming authors. The historical, economic, political and societal dimensions of borders are all carefully and insightfully analyzed. Particularly insightful are the new contributions on the making of African boundaries, the contemporary political effects of borders, and issues like smuggling, trade, urbanization and migration. There is no equivalent repository of knowledge on African borderlands anywhere else. A brilliant volume, indispensable for research and for teaching.

This handbook examines Africas borders from partition to the present, analysing their impacts on borderlands through a transdisciplinary lens. Moving beyond history and geography, it integrates socio-economic, political, and gender perspectives, foregrounding borders as living, dynamic processes while offering conceptual clarity and methodological guidance for holistic research across African borderlands.
