Entangled exclusions
An epicentre of ethnicity‐based identity politics and exclusions, India's northeastern region has long been politically imagined as both a ‘frontier’ and ‘borderland’ for state control, territorialization, extractive economies and (re)developments by colonial and subsequent post‐colonial regimes. In post‐independence India, the region experienced many territorial assertions made on ethnic grounds. With the rise of religio‐national and neoliberal …
Exiled from home and humanity. A review of Nasir Uddin's The Rohingya
We don’t eat those bananas
Over the past two decades, the Yunnan-Myanmar borderlands in Kachin State have become a major investment frontier for large-scale agribusiness. Chinese private capital, supported by state-led opium substitution programs, has turned thousands of hectares of forests into plantations. As in many such cases across Southeast Asia and beyond, this rapid development has come at the expense of local communities and displaced persons relying on these land…
Interventions in walking methods in political geography
Remaking and Living with Resource Frontiers
Myanmar, a nation situated between India, China and Southeast Asia, has long histories of colonialism, violence, and resource extraction. This special issue introduction, written in the midst of Myanmar's 2021 military coup and the COVID-19 pandemic, offers two critical and feminist interventions – 'remaking' and 'living with' – to understand the contested and embodied political geographies of extractive resource frontiers in Myanmar. 'Remaking' …
Infrastructures and b/ordering
Border regions worldwide have gained prominence for how nation-states order, divide and understand the world. This is increasingly made explicit in the selective management of global commercial and human flows, leading to a paradoxical development and a major dilemma for the contemporary bordering practices in border regions: that of concurrently facilitating differentiated mobility while ensuring territorial integrity, securing both territories …

Securing Urban Frontiers
This article examines how variegated local and transnational interactions are reconfiguring Myanmar's largest city of Yangon. We do this through an analytical focus on frontiers and an empirical focus on how these are secured, drawing on interviews at two Security Expos and street-level observations in Yangon conducted over three years. Yangon thereby becomes a site for critical reflections about complex and multiple imbrications of frontiers, se…
Can Borders Speak to Each Other? The India–Bangladesh and Spain–Morocco Borders in Dialogue
By juxtaposing local narratives of border experiences in two volatile regions, the Spain–Morocco border in Melilla and the India–Bangladesh border in Assam, this paper argues for the value of understanding borders as infrastructures. The paper conceptualizes border infrastructures in their broad material and discursive forms by foregrounding local narratives garnered out of a dialogue between the two sites. Through this conversation, the paper ex…
