Wewouldliketothanktheauthorsofthisvolumefortheirinspiringandinsightful
contributionsandfortheirdedicationinthevariousstepsofthisproject.
The discussions we had during international conferences and workshops with
many of our colleagues have been a huge motivation to pursue this book project.
We are particularly glad that the volume includes different theoretic approaches,
perspectives and views from scholars with different geographic and academic
backgrounds. The variety of the topics addressed in the volume highlights the
diverse shapes and expressions of the reconfigurations of power, politics and
identities which take place at the various borders and borderlands. We hope that
thisvolumeaddsnewperspectivestoamuchneededinterdisciplinarydialoguein
thefieldofborderstudiesandbeyond.

tional Affairs (oiip). This fifth volume of the institute’s Add-On Yearbook series
