Resumen Este trabajo se propone revelar los distintos modos en que los habitantes de una zona limítrofe, el discurso estatal, la historiografía y los medios de comunicación en Uruguay significaron y significan la frontera. Su compilación parte del convencimiento de que, periódicamente, es necesario tomar distancia, evaluar nuestras discusiones, avances y retrocesos: poner las fronteras en perspectiva y lograr así adentrarnos en distintas perspectivas sobre ellas. Los trabajos publicados fueron discutidos en el marco del II Seminario “Bordes, límites, frentes e interfaces”, que se llevó adelante en Tilcara (Jujuy) en noviembre de 2017. Abrir el abanico de posibles “perspectivas sobre las fronteras” permite evaluar sus alcances y limitaciones en base al estudio de casos concretos, que involucran e integran distintas escalas de análisis.Įl libro es producto de la dinámica de trabajo del Grupo de Estudios sobre Fronteras y Regiones (GEFRE) del Instituto de Geografía de la UBA. Poner “las fronteras en perspectiva” involucra tomar distancia del concepto, dudar de aquello que lo convierte en un constructo acabado para desnaturalizarlo, discutirlo y resignificarlo. However, in most cases as suggested below, the prime drivers of cross-border relations, trade, do not necessarily translate into increased border spanning governmental activism, and government cross-border institutionalisation does not necessarily transmute into increased economic integration.įronteras en perspectiva / perspectivas sobre las fronteras sintetiza dos vías de acceso al estudio de las fronteras en constante diálogo. Those forms of cross-border cooperation in the various regions of the world, however, do not result from the same drivers: For the purpose of a comparative analysis of cross-border relations, the argument developed here is that regional drivers determine types of relations from no relations to intense trading and government-like forms of cooperation.

In an era of globalisation, increased trade across regions of the world seem to have led to a specific increased cross-border cooperation, however, taking different forms from intense trading relations to resulting cross-border institutionalisation. Two questions are raised: when trade dominates, does economic or functional interdependency result in cross-border linkages? Second, when politics and institutions mediate cross-border relations, do economic relations intensify? Specifically, do local–central networks of government actors and institutions mediate such processes when they emerge? To investigate those two questions, this work focuses on cross-border relations in various parts of the world primarily focusing of the role trading relations or local–central relations would play in developing cross-border networks spanning an international boundary. This article is a review of regional cross-border coordination and cooperation around the world.
