I would like to get in touch with researchers who have done or are currently doing work on border-related issues, particularly on border management, border disputes, and soft borders.
Have a look at the work of Nick Vaughan-Williams (not sure if he's on this site), but here is his official website: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/people/vaughan-williams/
Hello, I am involved in research regarding border management, particularly the role of frontex, smart border management and illegal migration, human trafficking. the european union is already externalizing border control to north african states to prevent migrants from leaving the shores and provides technical support regarding border management. an interesting question which crossed my mind when reading your article was: what is the impact of (inner) african border management on the migration towards europe?
I deal with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for many years and various angles and concentrate mainly on security arrangements and models including borders regime.
