BOKSER MISSES-LIWERANT, Judit  e  SARACHO LOPEZ, Federico José. The Wall as a Border; Its Fall as a Process. Thirty Years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2020, vol.65, n.238, pp.161-179.  Epub 05-Fev-2021. ISSN 0185-1918.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2020.238.72002.

On November 9th, 1989, the world witnessed in shock the transformation of the prevailing geo-political configuration. The fall of the Berlin Wall became the symbol of the end of the Cold War, the current world order, of the common senses and worldviews of the world population and, therefore, of the short 20th century, in Eric Hobsbawm’s words. Pondering the fall of the Wall 30 years later is an urgent task. Similar to the analysis the authors carried on of the year 1968 and its movements around the world, this text once again answers the call of history and memory to rethink a particular moment, that iconic collapse, from a transnational perspective that sheds light on past processes and on our present constellations.

Palavras-chave : Berlin Wall; borders; globalization processes; transnationalism; liberalization; political regressions.
