Rising Walls, Weakening Sovereignty

Just twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, why did many states rush to build walls on their borders? At a time when the globalization of everything is talked about with great pleasure, how is it that kilometers of walls are rising all over the world? What is the relationship between the eroding sovereignty of nation-states and the building of these walls?

While looking for answers to these questions, Wendy Brown, a leading name among theorists who are critical of neoliberalism, resorts to political philosophy, economics and history, as well as a politicized psychoanalysis.

The first book in the social sciences that directly addresses the issue to this extent is Rising Walls, Weakening Sovereignty. Moreover, it is an extremely original text with the author's knowledge and quick wit. It is a work that will attract the attention of those who are interested in current developments in global politics and today's political philosophy, but also everyone who is trying to understand the world we live in.
