Why read it?
1 author picked The New Border Wars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I found this book eminently readable. It’s like a story about borders, offering vivid portrayals of real conflictual political geographies. Dodds makes clear that borders play political, social, economic, and environmental roles that must be considered for any prospect of peace in the future.

From Alexander's list on 21st century borders.
