<p class="p1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Beyond renationalisation<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p3"><span style="font-size:9.0pt">Even before the border closures and restrictions associated with the pandemic, the notion that a process of renationalisation was beginning to reverse dynamics of globalisation was taking grip. Associated with political
populism, trade wars, anti-migration politics, and the persistence of realism in international relations, the COVID-driven association of global connectedness with viral transmission seems only to have strengthened this perspective. This paper revisits the
conceptual history of renationalisation to locate it in relation to processes of denationalisation and to question its utility for understanding changing border politics in the Indo-Pacific region. I suggest the narrative of a “new Cold War” associated with
claims for renationalisation fails to capture the world making capacity of borders and their always tense relation with expanding frontiers of capital. Empirical focus will be on the persistence of migration struggles and proliferation of internal borders
during the pandemic as well as the historical resonances that<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p3"><span style="font-size:9.0pt">link current border struggles in the Indo-Pacific to the archives of colonial resistance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
