ABSTRACT
This paper describes an agenda that seeks to mobilize researchers across borders in investigating how community frontiers emerge in controversies over environmental change and spatial reorganization. That is, an agenda directed at research collaboration that transcends nation states in furthering understandings of the impacts of environmental change and mobility in the discursive production of borders. This paper describes the development of this agenda in investigating controversies around island and waterfront reclamation projects in Western Australia and Bali, and its possible trajectory in studying discursive nodes referencing island and waterfront reclamation at other sites in Indonesia as well as in Singapore and Malaysia.
