This book promotes a historically and culturally sensitive understanding of trauma during and after World War II. Focusing especially on Eastern and Central Europe, its contributors take a fresh look at the experiences of violence and loss in 1939–45 and their long-term effects in different cultures and societies.

Jotain on tehtävä, mutta mitä? Hakusanoilla ”ilmastonmuutos aiheuttaa” löytyy internetistä yli 5 000 osumaa, toinen toistaan huolestuttavampia. Luvassa on lisää helleaaltoja, kuivuutta, tulvia, hirmumyrskyjä, merenpinnan nousua, nälänhätää, konflikteja, pakolaisuutta, yhteiskuntien romahduksia ja taloudellisia menetyksiä. Toisaalta muutos luo myös valtavia taloudellisia mahdollisuuksia, kun energiantuotanto muuttuu päästöttömäksi ja Jäämeri avautuu ympärivuotiselle laivaliikenteelle.

Throughout history, the functions and roles of borders have been continuously changing. They can only be understood in their context, shaped as they are by history, politics and power, as well as cultural and social issues. Borders are therefore complex spatial and social phenomena which are not static or invariable, but which are instead highly dynamic. This comprehensive volume brings together a multidisciplinary team of leading scholars to provide an authoritative, state-of-the-art review of all aspects of borders and border research. It is truly global in scope and, besides embracing the more traditional strands of the field including geopolitics, migration and territorial identities, it also takes in recently emerging topics such as the role of borders in a seemingly borderless world; creating neighbourhoods, and border enforcement in the post-9/11 era.
