Border as Method claims that contemporary globalization has not led to the diminution of borders but to their proliferation, linking this proliferation of borders with the intensification of competition within global labor markets. Focusing on border struggles across various geographical scales, and combining theory with a number of case studies drawn from various parts of the world, the authors approach the border not only as a research object but also as an epistemic framework, which enables new perspectives on the practices of border-making and the maintenance of borders as essential tools for the production of labor power as a commodity.
