'Insiders, outsiders and the rise of populism in gated communities'

In her post, Cathy Wilcock argues that wall building – whether physical or symbolic – is not only a misapplied remedy to a misidentified problem, but it can exacerbate the very problems it claims to eliminate.

And it is worth pointing out that there are already walls being built within Europe – see for example the Hungarian wall at the border with Serbia and Romania.
