Abstract

ABSTRACT An immediate political geographic consequence of the global pandemic is the rapid imposition of national and subnational borders, particularly where cross-boundary openness and integration was prevalent. Borders are being reinvigorated as a strategy to contain the virus, which securitizes daily life beyond traditional border sites. We see this resurgence as indicating a new global border regime which is manifest at a variety of scales and will likely outlive the pandemic. Our discussion centers on several possible implications of this process, including further restrictions on immigration and movement, a heightened politics of regionalism, and an expansion of geographic tracking and surveillance.

边境复苏:建立后covid -19全球边境制度?

全球大流行的一个直接的政治地理后果是国家和次国家边界的迅速强加，特别是在跨境开放和一体化盛行的地方。作为遏制病毒的一项战略，边境正在重新焕发活力，这种病毒使传统边境以外的日常生活变得安全。我们认为，这种复苏表明了一种新的全球边界制度，这种制度在各种规模上都有所体现，并可能在大流行之后继续存在。我们的讨论集中在这一进程的几个可能的影响上，包括对移民和流动的进一步限制，区域主义政治的加剧，以及地理跟踪和监视的扩大。
