"The American West and the World provides a synthetic introduction to the transnational history of the American West. Drawing from the insights of recent scholarship, Janne Lahti recenters the history of the U.S. West in the global contexts of empires and settler colonialism, discussing exploration, expansion, migration,violence, intimacies, and ideas. Lahti discusses both established subfields of Western scholarship, such as borderlands studies and transnational histories of empire, as well as relatively unexplored connections between the West and geographically nonadjacent spaces. Lucid and incisive, The American West and the World firmly situates the historical West in its proper global context"--

Municipal and regional cross-border cooperation has already been common practice for a long time. This is shown by numerous existing Euroregions along the German border. The particular feature of this kind of cooperation is the participation of local and regional authorities of different states, which are separated by a national border. The judicial challenge is to legally overcome the national boundary in order to transform a mere partnership into an effective cooperation. This treatise outlines the existing instruments to implement such cooperation for German municipal authorities within their sphere of jurisdiction. Several questions are discussed: Are local authorities entitled to enter a transnational contract and if so, to what extent? What possibilities are offered by the German Constitution and existing umbrella agreements, and what is the relevance of the achievement of the European Regulation on a European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation? Furthermore, the important issue of transnational joint performance of exercising state authority as well as aspects of cross-border economic activities of local authorities are discussed. Grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit auf kommunaler Ebene ist bereits seit Langem gelebte Praxis. Das zeigt schon ein Blick auf die Gebiete der zahlreichen Euroregionen entlang der bundesdeutschen Grenze. Die Besonderheit dieser Art von Kooperation ist jedoch, dass an ihr kommunale Gebietskörperschaften unterschiedlicher Staaten teilnehmen und das Kooperationsgebiet durch die Staatsgrenze geteilt ist. Herausforderung ist es, diese Grenze in rechtlicher Hinsicht zu überwinden, um eine bloße Partnerschaft in eine wirkungsvolle Zusammenarbeit zu wandeln. Es wird aus dem Blickwinkel deutscher Kommunen aufgezeigt, welche Instrumente ihnen zur Verfügung stehen, um aus eigener Kraft eine solche Kooperation zu verwirklichen. Dürfen Kommunen überhaupt grenzüberschreitend vertraglich tätig werden und wenn ja, in welchem Ausmaß? Welche Möglichkeiten werden ihnen durch die Verfassung oder durch Dachstaatsverträge eröffnet und welchen Stellenwert hat die unionale Errungenschaft des Europäischen Verbunds für territoriale Zusammenarbeit? Erörtert wird zudem die wichtige Frage, ob und inwieweit die gemeinschaftliche Erfüllung hoheitlicher Aufgaben möglich ist. Nicht zuletzt werden Fragen zur wirtschaftlichen kommunalen Betätigung mit Grenzübertritt beleuchtet.

Frontier Tibet: Patterns of Change in the Sino-Tibetan Borderlands addresses a historical sequence that sealed the future of the Sino-Tibetan borderlands. It considers how starting in the late nineteenth century imperial formations and emerging nation-states developed competing schemes of integration and debated about where the border between China and Tibet should be. It also ponders the ways in which this border is internalised today, creating within the People's Republic of China a space that retains some characteristics of a historical frontier. The region of eastern Tibet called Kham, the focus of this volume, is a productive lens through which processes of place-making and frontier dynamics can be analysed. Using historical records and ethnography, the authors challenge purely externalist approaches to convey a sense of Kham's own centrality and the agency of the actors involved. They contribute to a history from below that is relevant to the history of China and Tibet, and of comparative value for borderland studies.

Where it divides Arizona and Sonora, the international boundary between Mexico and the United States is both a political reality, literally expressed by a fence, and, to a considerable degree, a cultural illusion. Mexican, Anglo, and Native American cultures straddle the fence; people of various ethnic backgrounds move back and forth across the artificial divide, despite increasing obstacles to free movement. On either side is found a complex cultural mix of ethnic, religious, and occupational groups. In A Shared Space James Griffith examines many of the distinctive folk expres
