Books by Kathleen Staudt

Culled from decades of firsthand observations, this text is a cross-regional analysis of border people and borderlands of the North and post-colonial South. Focusing on themes of trade, migration, and security, Staudt highlights the importance of states, their length of time since independence, and border bureaucrats' discretionary practices.

Fronteras No Mas examines the range of officials, non-government organizations, networks and remaining organizational vacuums that span the U.S. - Mexico border. This 'institutional shroud' facilitates the growth of civil society, yet cross-border organizing remains a challenging and complex version of local politics.

Considers the problems of development management in the context of political process. Focuses on bureaucratic politics and political relationships between people, their organizations and the state in development programmes and projects, particularly agricultural and health development programmes.
