Ruben Andersson Knihy

From the Afghan-Pakistan borderlands to the Sahara, images of danger depict a new world disorder on the global margins. With vivid detail, Ruben Andersson traverses this terrain to provide a startling new understanding of what is happening in remote "danger zones." Andersson takes aim at how Western states and international organizations conduct military, aid, and border interventions in a dangerously myopic fashion, further disconnecting the world's rich and poor. Risk-obsessed powers are helping to remap the world into zones of insecurity and danger, resulting in a vision of chaos crashing into fortified borders. Andersson contends that we must reconnect and snap out of this dangerous spiral, which affects us no matter where we are. Only by developing a new cartography of hope can we move beyond the political geography of fear that haunts us. From back cover.

Explores how Europe's increasingly powerful border regime meets and interacts with its target - the clandestine migrant. This book examines the subterranean migration flow from Africa to Europe, and shifts the focus from the illegal immigrants themselves to the vast industry built around their movements.

Focusing on the persistence of ineffective policies, the authors analyze how pseudo-wars against terror, migration, and drugs have become entrenched in political practices and profit motives. By examining various global cases, they reveal the incentive systems that sustain these destructive policies. The book also proposes strategies for collectively addressing and dismantling the reliance on militarized responses, advocating for a reevaluation of current approaches to societal challenges.
