Manlio Graziano鈥檚 latest book, What is a Border?, was just released by Stanford University Press this month. In this book, Professor Graziano looks at the current evolution of the world order toward a reinstatement of the importance of borders after market integration and political and monetary unions marked the past three decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall. He provides a geopolitical and historical analysis of this phenomenon and asks whether it is 鈥渁n out-of-step, deceptive last gasp of national sovereignty or the victory of the weight of history over the power of place鈥�. In the end, Graziano warns that this comeback of borders 鈥渄oes not mean that they will resolve any problems鈥� and rather looks at them as 鈥渄angerous fault lines in the contemporary world鈥�. As Professor of Politics Ronnie Lipschutz from University of California Santa Cruz puts it: "Manlio Graziano makes clear the role of borders as symptoms of growing disorder rather than as causes."

What is a Border? was originally published in Italian under the title by Italy鈥檚 leading social sciences publisher Il Mulino in March 2017.

Professor Manlio Graziano is the author of a dozen books on geopolitics and geopolitics of religion, including (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2017), and (New York: Columbia University Press, 2017). He is currently working on finishing his next book on the geopolitics of the United States, to be published next month by Il Mulino, and a chapter on religion and politics for an edited volume to be published by Routledge.
