This article examines controlling Indonesia's porous borders and policing asylum seekers. Firstly, it explains that border control in a so vast archipelago is particularly challenging for state authorities. Secondly, that as an important transit
to Indonesia to act as a ‘final bulwark’ and control irregular migration flows more effectively, border control nowadays has gained more significance in Indonesia than in the past. Fieldwork observations show that due to ongoing funding restrictions for state
-led border control, state-society cooperation for border surveillance has increased. State-society cooperation for border control, however, offers new opportunities for people smugglers to pay off civilian spies or corrupt border authorities.

Focusing on enterprise-state relations, the AA. investigate governmental involvement in corporate bodies, soft budgets, subsidies, state purchases, lobbying, and dispute resolution, and present evidence on how such relations vary with ownership
and level of government. Discussion and analysis cover the effects of devolution of state supervisory power on enterprise-state relations.

The number of unauthorized tunnels discovered through the U.S.–Mexico border has risen dramatically since the mid-1990s. These tunnels are problematic for the state because the subterranean border is both less visible and more difficult to monitor
and control than is the surface border. As a result, the need to demonstrate security success at both the national and the agency level has risen. Efforts to make tunnel discoveries (and security) visible are made within border-security agencies and within

On a sample of US urbanized areas in 2000, the AA. test theoretical hypotheses of the effect of land-use controls on the spatial size of urban areas. Minimum lot-size zoning and maximum FAR restrictions expand the urban area, while maximum lot-size
zoning, urban growth boundaries, maximum square footage limits, maximum building permit restrictions, minimum person per room controls, and impact fees contract the urban area.
The effects of exchange rate and relative productivity changes on US industrial output at the state level

This paper considers the effects of a changing dollar on aggregate state output, and for the agricultural, manufacturing and all other sectors for the contiguous 48 US states during the period 1972-89. After controlling for productivity
differentials between the US and its major trading partners, the findings indicate that in the long run, states have more to fear from slow productivity growth than from fluctuations in the dollar.

This article, through a critical review of the literature, claims that geographers have much to contribute to the analysis of the state and its role in development. An appropriate framework is a marriage of radical political economy and certain
strands of neo-Weberianism. This conceptual union allows for broad theorizing of the capitalist state in the periphery. This approach can help explain the differential performances of various third-world states within the confines of the world system

This paper analyzes the variation in flood power both at-a-station and downstream in a basin of differing lithologies, and discusses the geologic and geomorphic controls on flood power. Floodplain width influences these local and general controls
, and will directly and indirectly control flood power within the drainage network through its control on the rates of change of several hydraulic variables during discharge increases.

This paper examines biopolitical control practices at the Greece–Turkey borders and addresses current debates in the study of borders and biopolitics. It explains that while borders are diffusing beyond and inside state territories, their practices
and effects are concentrated at the edges of state territories—ie, borderzones. It concludes that this case demonstrates that biopolitics operates through sovereign territorial controls and surveillance, practices of death and exclusion, and suspension
