Routledge Handbook of Asian BorderlandsAuthor(s): Alexander Horstmann, Martin Saxer, Alessandro Rippa\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138917507, 978-1138917507\nSynopsis\nIn Asia, where authoritarian-developmental states have proliferated, statehood and social control are heavily contested in borderland spaces. As a result, in the post-Cold War world, borders have not only redefined Asian incomes and mobilities, they have also rekindled neighbouring relations and raised questions about citizenship and security.\n\nThe contributors to the Routledge Handbook of Asian Borderlands highlight some of these processes taking place at the fringe of the state. Offering an array of comparative perspectives of Asian borders and borderlands in the global context, this handbook is divided into thematic sections, including:\n\n Livelihoods, commodities and mobilities\n\n Physical land use and agrarian transformations\n\nBorder.
