      <Abstract>Borders have traditionally been seen as the physical boundaries that separate nations. However, in a globalized context with ever increasing interactions between societies, perceived social, cultural and economic borders are also being transcended by communities and peoples. We also find that the historical constrct of borders, though contested in prevailing geopolitical scenario, hold portent lessons to address the issues that geopolitical aspirations are creating in the modern world. This Special Issue in seven papers examines borders from historical, cultural and strategic perspectives.</Abstract>
