Title: El sistema fronterizo global en América Latina
Description: In the nineties of the twentieth century it seemed that national borders in Latin America were going to disappear, due to two interrelated phenomena: on the one hand, the reform of the State, embodied in the state deregulation (privatization), the opening of world markets (free trade) and decentralization (location) and, on the other, planetary globalization based on interdependence, technology and communication. Twenty-five years later, the end of the borders is not observed, but their great structural transformation: they have changed and managed to acquire a strategic condition without equal within the new world model of capitalist accumulation, which shows that they are historically determined social constructions.
