Borders in Globalization Podcast
Borders in Globalization (BIG) is an innovative, integrative, and sustainable network of academic partners from Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, which is engaged with non-academic organizations that are involved in the management of borders and borderlands in Canada and worldwide. The basic goal is to build excellence in the knowledge and understanding of borders. To this end, the partners will work together to create new policy and foster knowledge transfer in order to address such globalization forces as security, trade and migration flows.

The border reflects a division of the world into territorialized state, juridical and political orders that are spatially separated by territorial delimitations.

In fact, this phenomenon challenges both the monopoly of external relations of the State, and the nature of the juridical limit of bor

Borders are legal constructs: conventional lines on maps, landmarks on the ground, zone of cooperation, control and violence. But borders are also an artistic object. Sometimes, it is the border itself which is the support of a work of art. Other times, they appear in works of photography, comics, and in movies. Today we are going to talk about “Border Film” with Michael Dear who has just publishe

#10 BIG Podcast - "Frontières et Espaces Transfrontaliers: Entre Théories et Pratiques" - Avec: Grégory Hamez – Professeur de Géographie et d’Aménagement, Université de Lorraine
Les frontières sont des délimitations juridiques de territoires d’Etats souverains et jouent en principe le rôle de barrière a la coopération transfrontalière.

Comment cerner leur apparition et les enjeux qui les caractérisen
#9 BIG Podcast - "Geopolitics of Borders and Border Walls" – Avec : Elisabeth Vallet – Professeur de Géographie et d'Etudes Internationales, Montréal, Québec
Globalization is a complex and plural phenomenon. Some have been able to evoke a world without borders and the disappearance of States, but we rather observe the construction of many walls and barriers.

#7 BIG Podcast - "The Resilience of Indigenous Peoples Across Borders" - With: Patrick Lozar – Assistant Professor in History, University of Victoria, British-Columbia, Canada
