DESCRIPTION:In tracing America's long and often tortuous relationship wit
 h the murky underworld of smuggling\, Peter Andreas provides a much-need
 ed antidote to today's hyperbolic depictions of out-of-control borders a
 nd growing global crime threats. Urgent calls by politicians and pundits
  to regain control of the nation's borders suffer from a severe case of 
 historical amnesia\, nostalgically implying that they were ever actually
  under control. This is pure mythology\, says Andreas. For better and fo
 r worse\, America's borders have always been highly porous. Far from bei
 ng a new and unprecedented danger to America\, the illicit underside of 
 globalization is actually an old American tradition. As Andreas shows\, 
 it goes back not just decades but centuries. And its impact has been dec
 idedly double-edged\, not only subverting U.S. laws but also helping to 
 fuel America's evolution from a remote British colony to the world's pre
 -eminent superpower. \nPeter Andreas is a professor in the Department of
  Political Science and the Watson Institute for International Studies at
  Brown University. He was previously an Academy Scholar at Harvard Unive
 rsity\, a Research Fellow at the Brookings Institution\, and an SSRC-Mac
 Arthur Foundation Fellow on International Peace and Security. Andreas ha
 s written numerous books\, published widely in scholarly journals and po
 licy magazines\, presented Congressional testimony\, written op-eds for 
 major newspapers\, and provided frequent media commentary.
