In today’s world, six out of ten people live behind border walls. Meanwhile, paradoxically, connectivity is deepening across the globe and at all levels of international society through various means: information networks, financial flows, and logistics chains.
What binds these networks together is infrastructure, which constitutes the foundation of current connectivity. Therefore, from this perspective, borders are not only places of tension but also gateways to learning. Khanna argues that the real political map of the world includes not only states but also megacities, highways, railways, pipelines, internet cables, and other symbols of our emerging global network civilization—turning connectivity into the new paradigm of global organization.
