The book Divided: The Age of Walls, translated by Mohammad Samiei, a PhD candidate in British Studies at the Faculty of World Studies, has been donated to the library of the faculty.

This book offers a profound perspective on the phenomenon of physical borders in the contemporary world — a world that claims interconnectedness and unity, yet where walls have risen higher than ever. The author examines a range of cases, from the U.S.–Mexico border wall to Europe’s fences against migrants, as well as the symbolic walls of the Middle East and East Asia. The book explores the political, economic, and cultural roots of these divisions, while also analyzing their implications for the future of global peace and security.

This work can serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and those interested in the fields of geopolitics, regional studies, international relations, peace, and conflict resolution.
