is section highl ights the cross-sectional and comparative perspective that
we carried out in our research and dissemination work and addresses the
similarities a nd dierences that emerged in each country.
Borders have become institutions created and modied by human
beings to put a distance with those who a re created “dierent” to the com-
munity itself. From this topic, historical-political “constructs” have been
created, aided by lines of geographical demarcation erected from the per-
spective of power. However, these geographical, physical boundaries end
up deeply rooted in the social and emotional imag inary of the populations
that separate, as well as those that group. us, they end up becoming dif-
ferential evidence for those who live on either side of the border.
Regarding their spatia l dimension, borders have a dynamic character.
In other words, there is a dierence between the economic concentration
levels and the construction of space on both sides of the border, which af-
fects how people develop and integrate. With this premise in mind, t he au-
thors focused on the transit of people and the circu lar mobility that keeps
these spaces alive.
Since the fall of the Berli n Wall in , multiple barriers, high and
sophisticated, began to be erected along kilometres of borders: in Africa,
Asia, America and again i n Europe. None of them was built to stop the ad-
vance of enemy armies or barbarian i nvaders, but to prevent the transit of
human beings. Especial ly immigrants and refugees.
e barriers raised as a sy mbol of exclusion of “the others” in the
hope of leaving their own people alone through a false image of the so-
called “national order”. All these are the signs of a manifest inability on
the part of the States to govern the dynamics of migration triggered by
globalization.
