Everyday Boundaries, Borders and Post Conflict Societies

This book provides an in-depth analysis of border and boundary enactments in post-war and "deeply divided" societies. By exploring everyday places in post-conflict societies, it critically examines official narratives of how ethno-national divisions arise and are sustained. It challenges traditional accounts regarding the role that international intervention has in producing and/or weakening boundaries in such societies, while questioning clear-cut distinctions between the local and the international.
