Extension of the Border Fences – Restoring the Past
Extension of the Border Fences – Restoring the Past

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the issue of the return to physical border constructions, what scientists describe as fencing policy, or teichopolitics, in the context of improving the border protection systems. It can be noted as a contrast to globalization, that has been perceived for years as the process of opening to the world and lifting the boundaries. It is also increasingly considered as an element of social bifurcation, which changes the perception of state borders. The contemporary bordering process focuses on the construction of smart fences that can invisibly protect states from emerging various external threats. This article aims to provide a bordering process framework and get answers to the questions about the reasons for this process and future direction of border walls/fences development.
