An interdisciplinary exploration of the role of sovereignty, national identity, and borders in international politics.

Informed by current debates in social theory, Identities, Borders, Orders brings together a multinational group of respected scholars to seek and encourage imaginative adaptations and recombinations of concepts, theories, and perspectives across disciplinary lines. These contributors take up a variety of substantive, theoretical, and normative issues such as migration, nationalism, citizenship, human rights, democracy, and security. Together, their essays contribute significantly to our understanding of sovereignty, national identity, and borders.

“This book represents the very best standard of scholarship devoted to the task of rethinking International Relations theory.” —International Affairs

“The contributors variously draw on postpositivist social theory and normative theory—they are metaphorical migrants who have come to the city and love its ways. In their essays we find no disciplinary nostalgia or defensiveness.” —American Political Science Review

Contributors: Didier Bigo, Lothar Brock, Chris Brown, Neil Harvey, Martin O. Heisler, Rey Koslowski, Friedrich Kratochwil, Ronnie D. Lipschutz, Richard W. Mansbach, David Newman, Antje Wiener, Frankie Wilmer.

Mathias Albert is assistant professor in the Institut für Politikwissenschraft at Technische Universität Darmstadt. David Jacobson is associate professor of sociology at Arizona State University. Yosef Lapid is associate professor of government at New Mexico State University.
