Rather, they are the outcome of an escalatory dynamic already in motion--but now played out on a far bigger stage, with higher stakes, and in new security and political contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on the power of symbolic politics and policy feedback effects, Andreas traces the logic behind such buildup. Border policing is an attractive political mechanism for handling the often unintended consequences of past policy choices, signaling a commitment to territorial integrity and projecting an image of territorial authority. Yet its negative aftermath is not only frequently glossed over; it also fuels further escalation. With new chapters on the border policies of the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations, \u003ci\u003eBorder Games\u003c\/i\u003e continues to help readers grasp how the busiest border in the world is also one of the most fortified, and why it plays such a complicated and contentious role in both domestic politics and US-Mexico relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Andreas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501765787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501765780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2023","brand":"Peter Andreas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071538589951,"sku":"9781501765780","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef371944-9b41-43d9-a838-17963778d37c.jpg?v=1685436698","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/border-games-peter-andreas-9781501765780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
