Political economy of the border walls: A case study of the Pakistan Afghanistan border

Abstract

The global world order can be seen as a dynamic process which is constantly evolving. The actors involved in this whole arrangement are adapting new forms and ways every day. At first the world was characterized in substance to actors and their muscle power but however in today's frame of time we cannot ignore the vivid impact of economy on the overall hierarchy of states and their governance policies. Border walls are an important feature which has made a highlighting effect in this regard whether we discuss about its influence on the macro or the micro level. This issue under consideration rose to attention once again when Trump's government came into play and brought public's major focus upon constructing new walls and limiting communication across the state's boundaries. The Durand line issue in contrast to the existing walls across the world marks as an interesting example of discussing how things have unfolded ever since the formation of the sub continental states. To generate a detailed understanding of the targeted problem a direct relationship is drawn between the state actors, Pakistan and Afghanistan, with the non-state actors such as that of terrorist organizations who gained much popularity after the fall of the twin towers in Washington. The densely populated region of Pakistan Afghanistan across the longitudinal cross sectioning of the two planes is also investigated in detail by the source of secondary knowledge to detern1ine the possible benefits of the construction of the border wall.
