Course Description
The course provides a study of the different border situations that characterize contemporary societies. It looks at political and social effects of borders and how globalization has changed them. The course examines the way the changing economic systems affect the physical use of space and how it has changed from political units of city states to the Westphalian system. It also discusses the ways in which internal borders, including physical, administrative, and social perceptions in cities shape inequality, focusing specifically on examples within Santiago. Different examples of international borders, and specific conflicts over border areas in Latin America, are also studied.
