I think that they are more relevant than ever. Think in two ways.
A) Globalisation and Americanisation i.e. bad taste and bad food, no employers rights make people vulnerable.
B) Educational Systems in a country, welfare housing food.
Of course people are looking for Identities and they find it inside their secure borders, with food, welfare, thinking and laws that they understand.
If you don't agree just ask the Indians and Pakis about Kashmere.
Or tell a Scottsman he's english.
If you survive that.

I really wish there were no borders! I grew up in the UK, when to go to "another country" involved getting in boat or a plane. it came as a real shock to me to visit the place where Holland, Belgium and Germany all come to a point, and there is a post in the ground. Sit on it and you sit in 3 countries.
Borders are arbitrary lines on the ground, they mean NOTHING.
And yet people argue and fight and kill each other over where the line is, and who owns which bit of land.
People LOVE the people who live one mile THIS way, but loathe, hate and despise the people who live one mile THAT way, because they live on the other side of that stupid line on the ground. People think someone else is somehow stupid, or "inferior" to them, or lazy, or just plain "wrong", just on the basis of which side of a line they were born, or live on.
I hate lines on the ground, I wish they could all go away so that we could all live on the same side.

what is IT? and as for relevance of borders....borders determine space in the office, school, neighborhood, city, state, etc. think of the money question alone with this issue, man......no taxes? and what is a country without borders...the planet Earth....

Yes. The borders were not in place to prevent the exchange of ideas but to control the influx f people and maintain sovereignty.

There were no borders after world war two.
The borders was created after independence by those three monkeys who see no evil,speak no evil and hear no evil .
Look around at the mess created by the three monkeys in planet of apes.
Do you enjoy living in misery with the three monkeys in planet of apes?

The evolving of European union, NAFTA, SAFTA, and numerous others is an indication that we are no more the closed societies, we were once. Once we began to trust each other and the economic differences are levelled out, we are headed to one place called planet earth.
