As informed before, the Border Studies Module in the Center for Asia-Pacific Future Studies, Kyushu University (KUBS), opened its website in April, where now we can download two types of publications, the full-on "Border Studies Briefings" and the shorter (mainly, essayes) "Border Bites." Now the essey on the trip across the U.S.-Mexico border was uploaded as "Border Bites" No. 2, co-authored by Akihiro Iwashita (UBRJ, Unit Leader) and Mikhail Alexeev (San Diego State University). The essey is titled: "Blended Sovereignty: Experiencing the USâMexico Border Bridge." Also, we can download the very first issue of "Border Bites" by Serghei Golunov (CAFS/KUBS), titled "Russian Tourism to Japan: The Impact of the Visa Barrier." Please click the liks and enjoy!
