Summary
How are borders built in the modern world？ What does Brexit mean for Ireland's border？ And what would happen if Elon Musk declared himself president of the Moon？
In Border Wars， Professor Klaus Dodds takes us on a journey into the geopolitical conflict of tomorrow in an eye-opening tour of the world's best-known， most dangerous and most unexpected border conflicts from the Gaza Strip to the space race。
Along the way， we'll discover just what border truly mean in the modern world: how are they built; what do they mean for citizens and governments; how do they help understand our political past and， most importantly， our diplomatic future？

Desgraciadamente muy interesante。 Y digo desgraciadamente porque ya hemos visto lo que ha pasado ayer en Ucrania。 Hay muchas razones que llevarán a las naciones a conflictos bélicos debido al agua， los fondos marinos， Marte， La Luna。。。。。。 El futuro no es nada bueno salvo un acuerdo mundial sobre estas cuestiones， pero no va a ser fácil。

Probably the first time I give a book 1 star and definitely the first time I write a negative comment。 Especially since I have been a fan of Klaus Dodds and the tradition of Critical Geopolitics for years。 However， this is just sloppy scholarship。 According to the author， Abkhazia and South Ossetia have Russian majorites。 It's a terrible mistake at best and a copy-paste of Georgian propaganda at worst。 Plenty of similar mistakes and inaccuracies。 How didn't he （and the editors） filter that out！？ Probably the first time I give a book 1 star and definitely the first time I write a negative comment。 Especially since I have been a fan of Klaus Dodds and the tradition of Critical Geopolitics for years。 However， this is just sloppy scholarship。 According to the author， Abkhazia and South Ossetia have Russian majorites。 It's a terrible mistake at best and a copy-paste of Georgian propaganda at worst。 Plenty of similar mistakes and inaccuracies。 How didn't he （and the editors） filter that out！？ The book makes some interesting observations particularly about modern border technologies。 However， what it does really well， is engage in simplistic， one-sided bashing of anything that has to do with borders and regulation of migration。 It seems that the author wants to leave the reader with the thought that it would be best to abolish all borders。 After all， it's not Professor Dodds and people of his socio-economic status that would be much affected by that。 。。。more
