Scaling and Bordering: An Elusive Relationship?

Abstract

The emergence of theoretical approaches towards bordering and borderscapes entailed altered perspectives on scale. Borders are understood now to be shaped in variable manners by multiple and heterogeneous agents. However, the particular ways in which scales are continually created and rearranged through bordering have only occasionally been analyzed. This paper seeks to contribute to the debate a deeper contemplation of the emergence of border-related scales and related procedures of scaling. Starting from empirical observations of cross-border cooperation which exemplify the complexity of agent-driven scaling, the question is raised of how more theoretical explicitness might be achieved to account for the scalar implications of bordering. In particular, interdisciplinary scale theory is discussed for its potential contribution. An important task for future bordering studies is finally identified in the analysis of micro-scales.
