Produktbeschreibung
Constituted by experience and memory, borders shape a "border imagination" in the minds and social memory of people beyond the lines of the state. In the case of the Turkey-Georgia border, the imagination of the border has often been constructed as an economic reality that creates "conditional permeabilities" rather than political emphases. This book puts forward the argument that participation in this economic life reshapes the relationship between ethnic groups who live in the borderland as well as gender relations. This book offers a rich empirically based account of the intersectional and multidimensional forms of economic activity in border regions. It will be of interest to students, researchers and policy makers alike working in Geography, Economics, Ethnic Studies, Gender Studies, International Relations and Political Studies.
