¿Una difusión descentralizada del modelo chileno?

Abstract

In the field of transborder municipal cooperation with Peru and Bolivia, Chile tends to impose itself as a local, national and regional leader. But the case of recognition of an “aymara” territory of rural development rather reveals Chile as an undirect model. This article analyses the concrete modalities – socio-political practices at multiple levels and the consecuent discursive adaptations – of the Chilean investment on its north boundary. To fulfill that investment, local political actors and central administrations mobilizate international networks to support a project of subregional integration. The descentralized and transborder caracter of the initiative finds limits at the moment to concrete the search of external financial support.
