These global borderlands were shaped by industrialization, the development of the modern city, faster means of communication, the spread of imperialism and the rise of the modern nation-state, and the effects were felt by more people than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>The collection includes case studies in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. The essays are accompanied by maps designed specifically for the collection.<\/p>\n<p>The book was the outcome of the \u201cBorderlands as Physical Reality: Producing Place in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries\u201d conference held in London in October 2011 and co-hosted by the history departments at KCL and UNC. West Africa expert Lisa Lindsay and\u00a0historian of modern Europe Lloyd Kramer, both professors in the UNC department of history, also participated in the conference and contributed essays to the collection.<\/p>\n<p>The collection was born of the academic partnership that formalized between UNC and King\u2019s College London in 2005, and which has flourished for more than a decade. The alliance was initiated between the UNC College of Arts and Sciences and King\u2019s School of Arts and Humanities and School of Social Science and Public Policy; it continues to grow and include additional schools and disciplines campus-wide on both sides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe history departments on both sides of this partnership have built a robust and enduring collaboration,\u201d said Bob Miles, UNC\u2019s King\u2019s College London partnership liaison and associate dean for study abroad and international exchanges in the UNC College of Arts and Sciences. \u201cTheir joint activities are truly a model of success in global partnerships, benefiting our faculty, graduate students and undergraduates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Article by <a href=\"http:\/\/global.unc.edu\/news\/unc-kings-college-london-partnership-yields-new-book-on-borderlands-in-world-history\/\">UNC Global<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scholars and experts from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and King\u2019s College London recently co-wrote and edited an essay collection covering more than 200 years of global borderland history.
