This paper historicises the diplomatic and economic relations of Southern Rhodesia and Zambia between 1963 and 1973. While there has been comprehensive scholarship delineating the relations between, for instance, Zimbabwe and South Africa over the years, neighbouring Zambia has hitherto been given little attention by historians. Where the relations of Zimbabwe and Zambia have been examined, this has been in the context of political and military connections between Zambia’s United National Independence Party-led government and the Zimbabwean liberation movements the Zimbabwe African National Union and the Zimbabwe African People’s Union. In terms of Zambia–Rhodesia economic and diplomatic interactions, much has been written on how Zambia fared against the backdrop of Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence and the sanctions that followed, from the point of view of Zambia. We shift the focus because there is very little scholarship on the Rhodesian point of view, particularly its relations with Zambia in the period covered by this article. Using archival sources, newspapers and secondary literature, we contend that until the closure of the Rhodesia–Zambia border, the connection between the two countries was characterised by a cautious partnership marked by both covert and overt hostility, which escalated to an outright breakdown of border relations in 1973. Essentially, economic diplomacy became a critical tool deployed by Rhodesia towards Zambia to survive times of financial challenges precipitated by sanctions imposed by Britain and the United Nations, as well as the context of wars of liberation waged in Rhodesia since 1966.

Migrant destination states of the Global North generally seek to stem irregular migration while remaining committed to refugee rights. To do so, these states have increasingly sought to externalize migration control, implicating migrant origin and transit states in managing the movement of persons across borders. But do externalization policies actually have an impact on unauthorized migration flows? If yes, do those impacts vary across different migrant categories given that both asylum seekers and other migrants can cross borders without prior authorization? We argue that these policies do have an impact on unauthorized migration flows and that those impacts are distinct for refugees and other migrants. Using data on "irregular/illegal border crossings" collected by Frontex, the Border and Coast Guard Agency of the European Union (EU), we first find that the geographical trajectories of refugees and other migrants who cross EU borders without authorization are distinct. Using a novel method to estimate whether individuals are likely to obtain asylum in 31 European destination states, we find that "likely refugees" tend to be concentrated on a single, primary migratory route while "likely irregular migrants" may be dispersed across multiple routes. Through an event study analysis of the impact of the 2016 EU–Turkey Statement, a paradigmatic example of externalization, we show that the policy primarily blocked likely refugees while deflecting likely irregular migrants to alternative routes. Our findings ultimately highlight how externalization policies may fail to prevent unauthorized entries of irregular migrants while endangering refugee protection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

4. PHANTOM REGIONS WITH PENUMBRAL BORDERS: Discussing the Palimpsest Spatialities and Hybrid Identities of Huizhou Region, China.

- Abstract
Transformation of regional identities by administrative spatial restructurings has been relatively little studied, particularly in the context of regional deinstitutionalization. This article develops further a theoretical and conceptual framework of regional identities in spatial restructurings by discussing how deinstitutionalized 'phantom' regions with 'penumbral' borders beget more hybrid spatial identities. Empirically, the focus is on the Huizhou region in China: we study the changes in regional identity generated by several spatial de‐ and reconstruction processes. Underlining hybridity, we show that, although regional identity is shifting away from territorial belonging to Huizhou in some parts of the region (e.g. Wuyuan County), cultural identification with the Huizhou region remains strong even after a long period of administrative separation. Relatedly, we point out that deinstitutionalization in the Huizhou region has not been exhaustive and its regional identity is being increasingly reconstructed in a utilitarian manner for economic purposes. Despite (and partly because of) this, a sense of regional belonging has been maintained. Regional identities associated with Huizhou are relational and, more precisely, hybrid, as they are connected to regions that are neither fully institutionalized nor deinstitutionalized but appear as multilayered palimpsests that are being transformed through processes of constant making and remaking.

This paper explores the operationalization of policy directionality in terms of goal consistency as well as the spatial dimensions of problems and solutions. The study focuses on cross-border regions (CBRs), since they are engaged in cooperation to tackle common challenges. This study employs a comparative analysis across two EU CBRs, drawing on a theoretical framework that integrates the trinity of agency scholarships and the literature on the multiplicity of border functions. By combining these perspectives, we aim to illustrate how agents navigate the opportunity spaces generated within CBRs. This paper aims to shed light on the interplay between agents to navigate the conditions that the presence of international border generates in the EU cross-border regions (CBR)s to tackle Societal Challenges (SC)s. Through this integrated framework, we explore how agents perceive, interpret, and respond to the complex dynamics and possibilities that emerge in CBRs, shedding light on the interplay between structure and agency in these unique spatial settings. The findings show how SC can be framed at different scales with ambivalent results in terms of consistency of policy goals. Framed through the trinity agency framework, actors interacted collectively to generate and transfer knowledge in the CBRs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

6. Ghostly national imaginings and the (il)logic of capitalism in Meg Vandermerwe's Zebra Crossing.

CAPITALISM in literature - Abstract
This article uses Anderson's notions of national imaginings and calendrical coincidence as theoretical framework and the ideas of selected political economic theorists to examine Zebra Crossing's depiction of precarious illegal crossing of national borders by economically desperate Zimbabweans in the years leading up to the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup held in South Africa. The novel foregrounds issues of identity by depicting challenges encountered by an orphan teenage girl with albinism not only to cross the physical border but her tragic failure to negotiate various socially constructed boundaries that result when destructive post-colonial African national imaginations collide with the global economy's insatiable anti-egalitarian logic of capital accumulation. With varying degrees of success, Zebra Crossing transgresses prevailing contemporary classificatory systems of literary works and many boundaries related to post-colonial African national imaginings as these intersect with the predatory features of contemporary global capitalism.

Several Middle Iranian writings mention that Zab "spōxt" Afrasiab, thereby restoring water and borders. Some modern Iranian texts ascribe the same act of shooting at Afrasiab and spōxtan of him to Arash. Could the narratives of Arash and the kingdom of Zab perhaps be two iterations of a shared tale, wherein the myth is occasionally ascribed to both a warrior and the ruler of said warrior? Shahnameh scholars have identified various justifications for the omission of Arash's story in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. We can divide these justifications into two categories: firstly, Ferdowsi's original text did not include Arash's story, and secondly, Ferdowsi's text initially included Arash's story but later removed it during the compilation of Shahnameh. This article investigates whether the Shahnameh presents and narrates the story of Arash the Archer in a distinct narrative style, potentially following the "myth turn" method. The resolution of this inquiry hinges on demonstrating the convergence of the Zab myth and the Arash myth in terms of their underlying motif, as well as substantiating the existence of other instances of transformation and interchange between Zab and Arash in other literary works. By adopting this altered perspective, it becomes plausible to propose the hypothesis that Zab Tahmasab's realm and the tale of Arash are both retellings of an ancient Indo-European myth. This myth revolves around a deity associated with illumination who bestows rainfall and traverses boundaries, thus facilitating the potential for collective migration. Furthermore, the transfer and "myth turn" from Arash to Zab are evident in various Middle Iranian and New Iranian sources and share a comparable historical context.IntroductionThe tale of Arash is an ancient Indo-Iranian myth, with indications of its existence in older Indo-European stories as well. This myth is a variation of an ancient mythological tale that revolves around the deity of illumination. Following the division of the Indo-European and, subsequently, Indo-Iranian communities, the myth underwent expansion and adaptation in diverse manifestations and under different appellations. However, the underlying narrative of all these versions remains consistent, focusing on the god's story. A diverse array of figures, including Mithra, Tashtar, Azar, Shiva, Tir, Thor, Jam, Fereydon, Zab, and Arash, depict the luminosity of Marznamaz's aquatic realm. Arash was a renowned and esteemed figure among several Aryan tribes, including Indians, Hindus, Persians, and Parthians. Prayers, coinage, and stone sculptures widely celebrated his name, character, and narrative. It is likely that both monarchs, soldiers, and the general populace invoked Arash's name. They burden themselves with numerous responsibilities and seek divine favor and safeguarding by claiming descent from him. Nevertheless, Arash's presence in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh is minimal, with only a few mentions occurring beyond the expected timeframe of his life. This has prompted speculation over the omission of Arash's story in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, giving rise to several hypotheses.This article quickly examines three perspectives on the absence of the story of Arash in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. It suggests that the myth of Arash might have been included in the Shahnameh through an alternative narrative while still maintaining its essence. The tale of Arash, the deity associated with the boundary between the Indo-Iranian water regions, is believed to have originated from the king named Zab, as mentioned in certain Middle Iranian and New Iranian accounts. This phenomenon involves the shifting of attribution within a complex sequence of causes and effects, leading to the attribution of the same act of self-care at times to a warrior, at times to a ruler, and at times to God. Given that the exchange between Arash and Zab has been well-known and common since the middle Iranian period, it is reasonable to assume that Ferdowsi was aware of it. Ferdowsi's Shahnameh omits Arash's story to concentrate on narrating the story of Zab Tahmasb's kingdom.Literature ReviewArash Kamangir has been the focus of numerous studies conducted during the past two centuries. Some of the studies pertaining to Arash or indirectly addressing Arash include: The scholarly article "The preeminent Aryan marksman in Avesta and Tabari" was authored by Noldeke in 1881. This article asserts that the historical context of Arash's narrative predates the Iranian era. The Rigveda mentions Arash, an Indo-Iranian figure, as Ariksha.The article "Arash Kamangir and Vishnu," authored by Ziauddin Dashtakhaki and Pourkhalaghi Chatroudi in 2013, examines the similarities and differences between Vishnu and Arash. It sheds light on Arash's history and identity as an Aryan (Indo-Iranian) with potential pre-Aryan origins.The essay "Who was Arash Shawatir?" by Mariya (2012) provides valuable insights on the perspective of Iranians during the Sassanid period regarding the narrative of Arash. It also explores the Indo-Iranian origins of this tale.The article "The Absence of Arash Kamangir in the Shahnameh," authored by Jabri and Kehrizi in 2013, examines the rationale behind the omission of Arash's narrative in the Shahnameh. The authors argue that the antagonistic relationship between the Sassanid ruling structure and Arash, which manifested itself at the levels of kings, Khawases, and Mobdans, is responsible for this omission.The article "Why is the story of Arash Kamangir not in the Shahnameh?" by Khatibi (2016) examines the reasons behind the absence of the story of Arash in the Shahnameh. It explores the inclusion of Scythian narratives related to the Rostam family in the Iranian national epic and the impact of these narratives on the portrayal of Arash Kamangir.MethodologyThis article employs a research methodology that combines both descriptive and analytical approaches. In addition to referencing legendary sources, the study draws upon the views of renowned mythologists such as Heinels, Eliade, Karnoy, Dumzil, and others.ConclusionDespite Arash's significant popularity among the Aryan descendants, Ferdowsi's Shahnameh does not include his name in the expected timeframe. This omission has led Shahnameh experts to propose many explanations for the matter. This article aimed to scrutinize the historical evidence of Arash's narrative, irrespective of the mention of his name, and subsequently identify any references to him within the Shahnameh. Arash belongs to the Irdan group, which is associated with the luminous Marznama water space. He is also part of a family that includes numerous Aryan gods and deities, such as Mithra, Tashtar, Vishnu, Jam, Fereydun, Kiqbad, and Kikhusro. Indo-Iranian mythology prominently features this deity, particularly in the Shahnameh. The Shahnameh depicts it as intervening during periods of drought and darkness that plague the Aryan homelands. By warding off malevolent spirits and restoring light, boundaries, and water, this god restores balance and prosperity. Periods of drought and darkness marked the late Manouchehr kingdom in Iran, leading to the removal of boundaries and water. The era in Shahnameh concludes with the arrival of Zab, who successfully expels Afrasiab and reinstates the borders and water resources. Ferdowsi's narrative style may account for the omission of Arash during this significant period, which encompassed his life and death. Ferdowsi derived this narrative from the exchange and transmission between Arash and Zab, intricately linking it to the story of Hardoshan and the mythological deity of light at the border. The middle Iranian period marked the beginning of this linguistic shift, which persisted into the modern Iranian period. Ferdowsi's awareness of the shift between the names Arash and Zab and their interconnected stories is reasonable. Therefore, by including the story of the kingdom of Zab, there is an opportunity to fill the gap in the narration of Arash's story.

Right-wing extremism is a form of political extremism. In recent years, strengthening far-right forces has been an unnoticeable trend and a global problem. The main aim of the study will be to find out whether and to what extent the inclination of the respondents living in the territory of the Prešov and Košice regions is related to the views and attitudes of the extreme right in Slovakia in the context of the above-mentioned socio-political developments related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In addition to the theoretical definition of the basic terminological background, the paper includes the interpretation of the results of quantitative research aimed at determining the degree of acceptance of right-wing radicalism and extremism and identifying the manifestations of covert and overt support for these phenomena in eastern Slovakia in the context of the war in Ukraine. The article uses analytical and descriptive methods and a representative survey by a questionnaire.

Objective: to substantiate the existence of national cyber sovereignty as a legal concept; by introducing the concept of state cyber interests as an innovative determinant, to review the traditional concepts of national sovereignty and state borders in the context of the dynamic nature of cyberspace and the need to develop a hybrid mechanism for cyber borders protection, based simultaneously on law and technology.Methods: the doctrinal method was used to identify the basic discrepancies in the views of leading scientists in different fields on fundamental theoretical-methodological, conceptual and categorical issues, including the justification of a single algorithm for establishing borders in cyberspace. The doctrinal method is supplemented by the analysis of judicial practice of different countries, which allows considering the courts extending their jurisdiction to disputes related to cyberspace.Results: the study presents the application of traditional and modern legal concepts of sovereignty in the new digital environment, resulting in a combination of legal and technological approaches. The author reveals functional significance of the concept of state cyber interests for demarcating cyberspace and defining the boundaries of national sovereignty. The adaptability of this concept to the technically uncertain nature of cyberspace is shown. The conclusion is made about the main directions in forming the concept of cyber interests in cyberspace and its political and legal implications, based, among other things, on the practice of courts of different countries in resolving cyber disputes.Scientific novelty: the concept of state cyber interests is considered as an innovative method of defining cyber borders. It leads to the transformation of the traditional sovereignty concept and the close national interest concept in relation to cyberspace in the context of fulfilling security requirements and intensifying national defense against cyber threats.Practical significance: the obtained results eliminate existing contradictions in the definition of sovereignty and its spatial limits under the modern technology development; contribute to the elaboration of a disciplinary standard of cyber sovereignty based on a reliable demarcator necessary for the definition of state sovereignty and borders in cyberspace; adapt traditional legal concepts of sovereignty and national interests to the global modern cyber challenges; contribute to the transformation of traditional legal concepts of sovereignty and national interests in cyberspace.

Amapá, in the Brazilian Amazon, and the Province of Santa Cruz, in Argentine Patagonia, are considered both frontier territories, as much in terms of the frontier geography as the forms of development. These facts have produced significant conflict situations. The central objective of the research was to analyze capitalist accumulation in the border zone in two provinces/states, one in the north; and the other in the south of the South American continent, concerning the big economic projects and the disputes facing socio-territorial movements. In terms of method, we start from decolonialism and political ecology as a way of demonstrating the relevance of socio-territorial movements, based on orality, information from official databases, maps and images. images. As a result, we realized that developmentalist discourses prevail, whether via the state or large capitalist enterprises, leading to the denial or disqualification of those who are either directly affected or deterritorialized; or who fight for the right to a living territory.

This research explores and discusses the visual symbolic imaginaries generated by four artificial intelligence (AI) programs regarding the Mexico-United States border. The visual production hinges upon six key concepts that emerge from the general theme: “Most relevant symbolic imaginaries of the wall, violence, woman, childhood, inequality, and migration related to the Mexico-United States border.” The AI programs used to produce the images are Midjourney, Leonardo.ai, Stable Diffusion, and Dall-E 2. An experimental methodology defines the key concepts and symbolic imaginaries at the border between the United States and Mexico through ChatGPT 3.5. The images have been obtained by translating the written concepts into images using such programs. The generative image programs are conceptualized based on the aesthetic apparatus theory and the posthuman vision. The images are analyzed using the theory of social, cultural, and symbolic imaginaries. The analysis reveals ideological biases and aesthetic tendencies in the visually synthesized symbolic imaginaries and rhetorical regimes of the Mexico-United States border through generative image production programs. It also builds a critical-sociopolitical perspective on three main aspects: a conceptualization of generative image programs as techno-aesthetic apparatuses, a reflection on the creative construction processes of visual discourses produced by AI devices, and an examination of the ideological and aesthetic biases of the images understood as techno-aesthetic objects obtained from this visual production technology.

This article empirically maps and compares types of knowledge produced about people on the move by the European border security apparatus. Exploring two complementary analytical moments, the article addresses the stabilization of power and contingent practices within such apparatuses. We argue, first, that analyzing classification schemas implemented in data systems used within the European apparatus can reveal assumptions and limitations about people on the move—what we call "scripts of alterity." Second, the comparative mapping of scripts of alterity reveals a de facto division of labor between scales of governance that would otherwise be invisible in policy. Utilizing the new Ontology Explorer software method as well as discursive analysis, we identify four scripts of alterity, which materialize relations in data systems and are thus relatively stabilized. Third, we identify as "de-inscriptions" forms of resistance specific to scripts of alterity. These can still be contested and we account for three contingent practices of de-inscription from scripts of alterity by conducting ethnographic observation of data systems' use. Finally, we summarize three contributions that the "scripts of alterity" concept makes to the science and technology studies and to the critical security studies literature on the securitization of cross-border mobility.

The North East Region of India, comprising Meghalaya, Assam, Tripura, Sikkim, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Mizoram, is characterized by a distinctive blend of ethnic, cultural, religious, and linguistic diversity. Connected to the rest of the country via the Siliguri Corridor, also known as Chicken’s Neck, this paper delves into the historical context of conflicts in the region. It assesses various contributing factors such as ethnic diversity, migration patterns, resource allocation, and political interests. Given China's proximity through its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to the Siliguri Corridor, India's attention to this area becomes crucial. Furthermore, the paper evaluates the socio-economic impact of these conflicts and proposes potential strategies for conflict resolution and peace-building efforts. Specifically, it focuses on analyzing border disputes between Assam and neighboring Northeastern states, identifies primary causes of conflict, and offers actionable recommendations for resolution.

- Abstract
There has been scrutinized he history of illicit trade between Ukraine and Russia since 2014 until nowadays. It has been analyzed the changes in legal system, which are related to the ban of trading operations and the retrospective issues of decriminalization of smuggling. The author has got known about the role of customs and law enforcement bodies’ activity within combating illegal trade and violation of customs rules. The 10 years’ statistics data about the tendencies of the decrease in the smuggling index of various goods has been issued since 2022. It was proved that the most popular contraband goods were counterfeit tobacco products, auto parts, fuel, weapons, drugs, cultural values, etc. The activities of smugglers led to economic losses and failure to receive funds to the state treasure. The importance of the necessity to mix the methodological approaches in social and humanitarian sciences has been stressed. A wide historiographical base is used: legal studies make it possible to analyze the legislative chronology, economic – the consequences for the state that we have as a result of illegal trade. Periodicals of the World Customs Organization, reports of law enforcement and customs bodies represent a statistical value for analysis. There has been proved that the scrutinized issues about the contraband between Ukraine and Russia during 10 years of ‘hybrid’ war are topical and make the necessity to find out the new data about illicit trades activity. The topicality is also related to the absence of the complex scientific works which research this chronological period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we examine the imagining of homeland as one of the discursive practices of rearticulating belonging within new state borders. The study focuses on an under-researched diasporic group of the Dungan community in Kazakhstan and examines how the diaspora subjects make sense of shifting borders and legitimize their presence within an increasingly homogenizing nation-state. Specifically, our interrogation focuses on spatiotemporal frames for re-imagining the notion of homeland and belonging in the context of shifting borders and changing conditions of settlement. We show how the Dungan negotiate their social positioning by re-orienting themselves to their ancestral home and their current place by discursively constructing double loss – permanent dispersal from China, their ancestral homeland, and displacement from the home and ideal life they managed to build in the Soviet Union. This spatiotemporal perspective allows us to see that the notion of homeland, a defining feature of diaspora and often viewed as naturalized and fixed, is a fluid construct, and one which can be rooted in time just as much as in space. The study contributes to understanding of processes of diasporic imagination in response to sociopolitical changes, and shows us that feelings of displacement can arise without physical dispersal, that temporality is as important in the processes of constructing diasporas as spatial movement.

In Quebec, geopolitics has not given rise, as a research field, to lively epistemological debates as was the case in France and elsewhere. At the crossroads of the French and Anglo‐Saxon schools of thought, Quebec's geopolitics developed progressively, with a few pioneers in the 1960s, to become an integral part of the geography discipline in the 1980s, driven by geopolitical issues related to the issue of Quebec within Canada. From the 2000s onwards, geopolitics diversified and became more international, becoming a commonly accepted sub‐field of research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Building upon a review of geographic research agendas and concepts related to the uneven geographies of COVID‐19, this first of three articles debates the benefits of geographic analyses to the syndemic approach and, vice versa, of a syndemics perspective to geographic analyses. The syndemics perspective was proposed by critical medical anthropologists. It seeks to deepen the understanding of the structural dimensions and processes that lead to the convergence and cascading of multiple epidemics in specific population groups. Geographers have also highlighted the intersections of multiple health or other crises during COVID‐19, when the pandemic and global health emergency coincided with and escalated existing structural inequalities produced by the climate crisis, environmental degradation, political conflicts and war, socio‐economic disparities and poverty, social divisions, racism, hatred and violence, mental health problems and stress. Geographers have mobilized concepts such as scale, territory, borders and intersectionality to unravel the uneven unfolding and consequences of the global health emergency for diverse population groups. We therefore argue that geography has a lot to contribute to the understanding of the spatial and contextual dimensions of COVID‐19 as a pandemic as well as a syndemic – but it has so far not actively employed the latter concept's analytical lens. Mobilizing the syndemics approach can contribute to more comprehensive accounts of the structural dimensions and processes that continue and cascade in pandemics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Kolberi constitutes a form of cross-border labor prevalent in the western regions of Iran, wherein individuals engage in the transportation of various goods across borders to generate income. Despite the fact that government institutions and the border guard police consider Kolberi illegal, a large number of border residents are engaged in this job. A part of this group is made up of adolescents, on whom this research is focused. The researchers adopt a Cultural Criminology approach to understand how adolescents get involved in Kolberi. To gather information, the research employed a combination of interviews, document analysis, and virtual data, while thematic analysis was utilized to examine the findings. Our findings reveal that the dialectical interaction between the political economy of border, border culture, and the adolescent Kolbers' subculture contribute to the formation of adolescents Kolberi and the reproduction of Kolberi within the border community. In this way, adolescents Kolberi is an illustrative exemplar of the development of cultural criminology of border. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The mainstream approach of regional integration impact assessments is mainly limited to assessing cross-border development projects/programmes. There is still a lack of critical assessment of how stakeholders at different institutional levels conceptualise the border. Local (municipal) strategic plans provide a reflection of the spatial imaginaries of stakeholders, perception planners, institutional power structures, and, to some extent meaning of the border to the local people. Integrated Development Plans (IDPs) in South Africa were adopted as an important development planning strategy in the post-apartheid era. IDPs of 49 borderland municipalities were systematically reviewed using the Key-Word-in-Context (KWIC) content analysis technique of the keyword 'border' to determine the importance of state borders in light of regional integration. Border security and management is one of the most common themes associated with the border. This suggested that borders were mainly perceived as threats and barely considered as a potential resource for cross-border cooperation or integration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Executive Summary: This paper examines the staffing needs of the US Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), as it seeks to eliminate an immigration court backlog, which approached 2.5 million pending cases at the end of fiscal year (FY) 2023. A previous study by the Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) attributed the backlog to systemic, long-neglected problems in the broader US immigration system. This paper provides updated estimates of the number of immigration judges (IJs) and "judge teams" (IJ teams) needed to eliminate the backlog over ten and five years based on different case receipt and completion scenarios. It also introduces a data tool that will permit policymakers, administrators and researchers to make their own estimates of IJ team hiring needs based on changing case receipt and completion data. Finally, the paper outlines the pressing need for reform of the US immigration system, including a well-resourced, robust, and independent court system, particularly in light of record "encounters" of migrants at US borders in FY 2022 and 2023.

Narcotic Detection Dogs (NDDs) are essential tools in the fight against drug trafficking, acting with high precision and improving efficiency at border posts. When trained efficiently, these dogs can detect a great variety of compounds, such as cocaine, marijuana and its derivatives, and synthetic drugs, among others. Most of the knowledge on canine detection processes and efficiency has been determined in experimentally controlled conditions, but narcotic seizures detected by dogs in realistic anti-drug operations have not yet been critically determined in a Country with continental dimensions such as Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the data set concerning the performance, operations, efficiency, and success rate of NDDs used by the Brazilian Customs Authority (Aduana) in the fight against drug trafficking. Narcotic seizure rates increased in luggage and packages detected by NDDs working at border crossings from 2010 to 2020, with an estimated value of over US$ 2 billion in losses to the cocaine drug trafficking business. NDD units also increased most narcotic groups seized in the same period. The number of NDDs and anti-drug operations, and Customs Border Post (CBP) influenced the rates of drugs seized. NDDs provided an increase of 3,157 kg/animal of drugs seized for every new dog introduced into the inspection systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on the analysis of some contemporary Mexican literary works, in which the southern or northern geographical border of Mexico is represented as a counterhegemonic, violent, and geopolitically vulnerable space. For this purpose, the novels 2666 (2004), by Roberto Bolaño To the other side (2008), by Heriberto Yépez; The Scorched Lands (2015), by Emiliano Monge, and the testimonial collection of poems The Central American Book of the Dead (2018), by Balam Rodrigo will be reviewed in particular. In these texts, the border is configured as a territory of multiple sociocultural relations and economic transactions, in which particular values and interests are conditioned by the laws of the market. In each of these texts, drug trafficking is present directly or indirectly, who controls, manages, or eliminates everything that seems useless. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Community awareness is a key component of disaster resilience and numerous agencies developed a plethora of preparedness materials. Previous studies evaluated national-level resources and social media content indicating that these efforts are not effectively reaching vulnerable populations, as the information is provided at or above the secondary education level. However, the local-specific content has been mostly overlooked in the analyses, subsequently neglecting the needs of areas with specific demographics and hazards, like predominantly Hispanic border communities. Thus, this study turns to local preparedness and mitigation materials, rather than general internet searches or national level documents. We analyze information provided on 239 webpages of local authorities in Cameron county in the southernmost tip of Texas. We evaluate: 1) the availability of languages and visual materials, 2) the reading difficulty level, and 3) the suitability of content. Our results demonstrate the lack of suitable and readable information provided on the local authorities' websites with the average readability level implying "difficult" to "very confusing", and the average suitability score equivalent to "below average/adequate". Moreover, the lack of Spanish-language content indicates an under-utilization of the otherwise vernacular language. We discuss those results in the socio-cultural context of the border community.

As a social institution, a border simultaneously divides and connects. When thinking about state borders, or borderlands, scholars tend to view them as either linear or zonal spaces, distinguishing as well as linking one state with another. My article argues for an alternative interpretation and explores the geopolitical and cultural meanings of a historical border region from both domestic and inter-state perspectives. The border of China and Korea along the Yalu and the Tumen Rivers, is arguably one of the oldest state boundaries that is still effective today. The history of the border river region as a "buffer space" can be traced back to the seventeenth century when Qing China and Chosŏn Korea established the border along their northern frontiers. However, the geopolitical function of this border went beyond considerations of defence or communications. From the mid-seventeenth century to the mid-nineteenth century, both the Manchu-Qing court and the Chosŏn court implemented strict laws to control domestic population flows to their northeastern and northern frontiers. Such policies, I argue, must be understood in the context of domestic politics in the two courts. Internal anxiety over preserving Manchu and Korean identity, coupled with strategy to control the border against an external power, contributed to the making of this borderland. Hence, the Qing-Chosŏn border region served as a "dual buffer". Employing historical records and local gazettes in the two countries, my article reveals a subtler layer of "buffer" from a case study in early modern East Asia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

New Mexico is located along the U.S.–Mexico border, and as such, Spanish, English, and language mixing form an integral part of the New Mexican identity. New Mexico is often divided into a northern and a southern region with the north known for Spanish archaisms due to historic isolation, and the south associated with ties to a Mexican identity due to the location of the U.S.–Mexico border. The current study uses perceptual dialectology to capture the way in which speakers in the south of New Mexico perceive this north/south divide and communicate their identity. Overall, there is evidence of the north/south divide, but speakers in southern New Mexico focus much more on language use such as Spanglish, English, and Spanish than on their northern counterparts. Participants reference language mixing over language "purity" and borders over an explicit rural/urban divide. Like previous accounts, we see reference to the "correctness" of both English and Spanish, examples of specific terminology used in different parts of the state, and descriptions of accents throughout the state.

This article deconstructs the parliamentary discourses regarding two migratory incidents in Ceuta, May 2021, and Melilla, June 2022, when hundreds of people attempted to cross the fences that separate Morocco from Spain. Most of them were immediately deported, many injured, and several died. This analysis compares the density of populist, anti-populist, re-bordering, and de-bordering references in forty-five speeches at the Spanish Congress regarding both tragic events. Vox speakers articulate a distinct discourse that instrumentalises these incidents to convey a sense of existential crisis and to (re)define a populist right-wing political identity based on moral hierarchies, a homogenising conception of society and the exclusion of a dangerous "other." Meanwhile some parties applied a populist logic to promote de-bordering views and others combined re-bordering and de-bordering claims without imposing a populist frame. This was an opportunity to exhibit a progressive sense of place in borderlands contrasting with Vox's reactionary one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Indonesia's border areas with other countries are prone to various threats, both traditional threats such as territorial disputes or military attacks and non-traditional threats focusing on individual security, known as human security. The high number of human trafficking cases through border areas indicates the need to enhance the functions of personnel assigned to these areas. In this context, Immigration has a significant responsibility to prevent transnational crimes such as the non-procedural dispatch of Indonesian migrant workers and other forms of human trafficking. This research aims to analyze the role of immigration functions in enhancing human security in border areas. This descriptive research is based on literature studies related to border issues and potential crimes, as well as the role of immigration in addressing these problems. Through the four immigration functions--immigration services, law enforcement, state security, and facilitator of community welfare development--it is hoped to improve human security for communities in border areas. The findings indicate that strengthening these functions can significantly reduce human trafficking cases and enhance the welfare and security of border communities. This research provides important contributions to the development of public policies related to border management and the prevention of transnational crimes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mulhouse's Foundry district, a politically designated area of the city, is known for its socioeconomic challenges as a low-income neighborhood. Despite hosting a faculty, the district remains marked by social compartmentalization among its diverse population. However, recent socioeducational initiatives, including programs like "French as Language of Integration," implemented within the faculty, have sparked changes in perceptions among residents, students, and university staff. This heuristic study delves into the intricate mechanisms and complexities associated with territoriality, boundaries, and social diversity, with a specific focus on examining the impact of socio-educational interventions in the vibrant and poor Foundry district of Mulhouse.

In March 1996, a jaguar (Panthera onca) named Border King was seen in Arizona’s Peloncillo Mountains, followed by a sighting of a second male, Macho B, in September. The cats had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and quickly came to symbolize a conservation success story in complicated geopolitical terrain. Two decades later, the Trump Administration’s increased militarization of the borderlands prompted concerns about the deleterious impacts of border wall expansion for jaguar movement and survival. This study examines the expansion of border barriers, and potential impact on jaguar habitat. Using geospatial technologies and public data, we measure border barrier expansion between 2005 and 2021. We found that of the suitable jaguar habitat that touched the border in the study area (155 km), 86% (or 133 km) had been cut off by border barrier by 2021. We distinguish “wall” from other barriers, including vehicle barriers, using aerial imagery. Our results show although barriers built from 2006 to 2015 were triple the length of those built under Trump, the majority consisted of vehicle barriers, which animals may be able to cross. Trump era construction shifted vehicle barriers to restrictive walls limiting animal movement. We argue examining the type of barrier is crucial in understanding the potential for border “security” disruption to jaguar movement and futures in the borderlands.
