Constructing Boundaries

In: Polity: the journal of the Northeastern Political Science Association, Band 46, Heft 2, S. 159-163

Abstract

This issue of Polity contains six articles that explore the origins, workings, and permeability of different types of boundaries. All the articles mix empirical observation and theoretical reflection as they examine how social practices, such as patronage, philanthropy, and public prayer, affect citizens' loyalties and images of friend and foe.
