Includes bibliographical references

The thesis engages in a critical reconceptualization of the phenomenon of contemporary bordering and border practices within the context of globalization. Part of this study is about how to rethink globalization, which is characterized by contradictory, but concurrent, processes of transnationalization and power reconcentration around the sovereign state, and in so doing, offer new theoretical interpretations of international relations, state sovereignty, and borders within the contemporary globalizing conditions. Why is it that the act of constructing physical border walls is proliferating amid globalization, which paradoxically promotes universality, openness, and interconnectivity, and why are border walls, despite their functional inefficacies, socially and politically appealing and meaningful? Considering contemporary borderification efforts as an isolated phenomenon, this study implements an interdisciplinary framework of analysis that borrows from Communication studies and Rhetorical Theory, International Relations Theory, and Critical Theory to unearth the deeper meanings and functions of new border walls and policies, theorize their global proliferation, and pinpoint the power relations that both define and constitute them. With a special focus on the U.S.-Mexico border and E.U. borders, the thesis develops upon the argument that globalization-induced changes and challenges, coupled with individualized contextual circumstances and the theoretical ambiguity of sovereignty itself, have facilitated sovereign vulnerability, which translates into border creation and heightened border securitization. Beyond this, the study seeks to amplify the acutely social nature of bordering; resting upon the conclusion that borders, while they largely fail to achieve the overt aims they publicize, do, in fact, fulfill very powerful social and rhetorical purposes beyond the demarcation of sovereign territory, and the sociocultural value invested in sovereign borders contributes to their popularity and perpetuity.
