Patterns in Border Security

This book compares the construction of cross-border security regimes across five regions of the world to illustrate how trust emerges from the day-to-day relations of coordination, cooperation, or collaboration. It studies the way borderland communities develop, implement, and align border policy to enhance their sense of security.
