Beyond the Nation State? Borders, Boundaries, and the Future of Democratic Pluralism
Summary: The New Salzburg Global Report ‘Beyond the Nation State? Borders, Boundaries, and the Future of Democratic Pluralism’ reflects the challenges and opportunities that come with understanding, rethinking and resisting borders. Drawing on their 2023 conference of the same name which brought an intergenerational, international, and inclusive group of approximately 50 academics, policy makers, journalists, artists and activists together, the report reflects on the challenges and opportunities that come with understanding, rethinking and resisting borders in order to foster democracy, equality, and social justice. It highlights some of the discussions participants had about the relationship between borders, national identities, and democratic pluralism, indigenous perspectives on modern borders, migration on the southern US border, cultural borders and borders in culture, and American Studies’ engagement with borders.
