| Summary: | States' migration and border control policies must enhance security while facilitating commerce. Sealing off borders appears as a panacea against transnational terrorist threats. Visas and Walls shows that trade and financial dependence keep borders open as long as terrorist violence does not harm states' own citizens or territories. "Given current policy debates in Europe and the United States, the sophisticated and quantitative analysis in Visas and Walls is not only timely but especially needed."—Amanda Murdie, University of Georgia -- "With its combination of social science theory, rigorous empirical testing, and readily evident policy implications, Visas and Walls stands to make a significant impact on the debates regarding immigration and border policies."—Christopher Rudolph, American University |
