Abstract

The frontiers of the Roman empire together form the largest monument of one of the world's greatest states. They stretch for some 7,500km through 20 countries which encircle the Mediterranean Sea. The remains of these frontiers have been studied by visitors and later by archaeologists for several centuries. Many of the inscriptions and sculpture, weapons, pottery and artefacts created and used by the soldiers and civilians who lived on the frontier can be seen in museums. Equally evocative of the lost might of Rome are the physical remains of the frontiers themselves. The aim of this series of books is not only to inform the interested visitor about the history of the frontiers but to act as a guidebook as well. The province of Dacia had a relatively short life being abandoned due to economic and strategic reasons in the 260s. It was heavily militarized and therefore the role of the army was crucial in Its development and life. The Roman frontier In Dacia combined several elements, each relating to the landscape: there were riverain and mountain borders, some supplemented by linear barriers, and all connected by roads. Everywhere, the complex system of the border consisted primarily of a network of watchtowers, smaller or larger forts and artificial earthen ramparts or stone walls.

Abstract

"Die politische Entscheidung im September 2015, die deutschen Grenzen angesichts der dramatischen Flüchtlingsbewegungen weiterhin offen zu halten, hat einerseits zu gesellschaftlicher Polarisierung geführt, andererseits aber auch die Frage nach der ethischen Begründung und politischen Legitimität von Staatsgrenzen verstärkt ins Bewusstsein gerufen. Im Kern geht es dabei um die Frage, inwiefern wohlhabende Staaten angesichts der globalen Flüchtlingsfrage eine moralische Verpflichtung zur Öffnung ihrer Grenzen haben. Die vorliegende Studie analysiert unterschiedliche migrationsethische Ansätze aus philosophischer und theologischer Perspektive. Der Autor würdigt das Bekenntnis freiheitlicher Demokratien zu universalen Menschenrechten, anerkennt aber auch das Recht und die Pflicht demokratischer Staaten, ihre Grenzen im Interesse eines gedeihlichen Zusammenlebens zu schützen. Mit der Philosophin Seyla Benhabib plädiert er letztlich für die grundsätzliche Durchlässigkeit von Staatsgrenzen."

Abstract

The remains of the Roman frontiers in Wales are unique in the Roman Empire. More than 60 stone and timber fortresses, forts and fortlets, some of which seem to have been occupied for only a few years, while others remained in use for far longer, tell the story of the long and brutal war against the Celtic tribes.

Abstract

How we define border studies is transforming from focussing on “a line in the sand” to the more complex notions of how constituting a border is practiced, sustained and modified. In the expansion of borders studies, the areas explored across Europe and Asia have been numerous, but the specific themes that arise through comparative case studies are novel when approach Europe and Asian borderlands. Comparing the border experiences in East Asia and Europe in a number of thematic clusters ranging from economics, tourism, and food production to ethnicity, migration and conquest, Borders in East and West aims to decenter border studies from its current focus on the Americas and Europe.
