How is identity constructed, maintained and altered in different geographical, personal and societal contexts? A multi-disciplinary approach is indispensable for an understanding of the deeply intertwined processes of identity construction and boundary formation. In this spirit, the book brings together scholars from political science, human geography and area studies who present a variety of perspectives on the subject. Identity Dynamics is the fruit of a series of seminars and workshops on the themes of identity, nationalism, globalization, migration, citizenship, and the removal and displacement of borders. The authors analyze a number of issues regarding identity and boundary construction, drawing on case studies from a wide range of countries, including Denmark, Ireland, Sweden and Russia.
