Abstract

ABSTRACT Approaching the triple border between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay from the perspective of path dependence, this article analyzes how a trajectory, started in the 1950s, determined the existence of some elements that define the characteristics of the triple border in the 21st century. As a theoretical basis, historical institutionalism is used as an analysis strategy, the following elements are present in the analytical structure of the path dependence: critical juncture, path-broken, self-reinforcing, lock-in. We conclude that the critical situation occurred when Paraguay strengthened its relationship with Brazil in the 1950s, with actions to reinforce their trajectory in the 1960s and 1970s, with institutional lock-in taking place in the 1980s and 1990s.
