Photographer Julian Röder visited the Turkey-Greece border, a popular illegal entryway into the European Union, to observe the next generation of border patrol. An agency called Frontex has revolutionized the EU’s border security in recent years, transitioning from barbed wire and watchdogs to infrared cameras, motion detectors and electric fences, along with plans to incorporate robots and drones. In this picture, Frontex patrols the border of Greece with Turkey in the Evros region in January 2012.

Would love to know where/how I can obtain a copy of "On Borders." It doesn't seem to be currently available in American or German retail outlets.
