自冷战秩序结束以来，后苏联边界的特点是地缘政治紧张以及对理想政治和空间秩序的不同想象。本文借鉴对俄罗斯和爱沙尼亚边境两个边境城镇的民族志研究，提出了对这些边界动态进行实地考察的理由，其中考虑到边界作为“流动性和圈地”的场所如何在日常生活中进行协商，并通过将治国方略融入人们的生活来塑造边界。根据他们的历史记忆，人们将边界解释为先前自由流动的障碍或安全装置，并与国家建立相应不同的关系——优先考虑当地对流动性的关注或接受国家对安全和主权的关注。分析这些边界谈判以及公民与国家之间的关系，体现在人们的期望和主张中，可以让我们更好地了解人们如何参与边界的制定，并为政治秩序的稳定性和可塑性做出贡献。
Since the end of the cold war order post-Soviet borders have been characterised by geopolitical tensions and divergent imaginations of desirable political and spatial orders. Drawing upon ethnographic research in two border towns at the Russian-Estonian border, the article makes a case for a grounded examination of these border dynamics that takes into account how borders as sites of ‘mobility and enclosure’ are negotiated in everyday life and shaped by the differentiated incorporations of statecraft into people's lives. Depending on their historical memories, people interpret the border either as a barrier to previously free movement or as a security device and engage in correspondingly different relations to the state—privileging local concerns for mobility or adopting the state's concerns over security and sovereignty. Analysing these border negotiations and the relations between citizens and the state, articulated in people's expectations and claims, can provide us with a better understanding of how people participate in the making of borders and contribute to the stability and malleability of political orders.
