Las fronteras del Istmo Centroamericano: Una geopolítica de larga duración
Contrary to popular opinion, the boundaries which separate Central America into seven different countries, do not have their origin in the political divisions caused by the wars for independence fought at the beginning of the nineteenth century. They are the result of a long process of labor and con...

Contrariamente a muchas ideas generadas, las fronteras que dividen a América Central en siete Estados diferentes, no tienen por origen las fracturas políticas provocadas por las guerras de independencia del principio del siglo XIX. Ellas son el resultado de un largo proceso de elaboración y de consolidación. Nacido en el momento de la conquista española, y que aún no ha terminado. El fin de este estudio es volver a colocar a lo largo del tiempo una geopolítica muy contemporánea para, de esta manera, entender mejor la formación de los territorios y de las naciones que comparten el istmo. Bajo esta perspectiva, la frontera ya no debe ser percibida como una línea sencilla, sino como un espacio cuya extensión puede evolucionar según la época y los medios de comunicación disponibles para facilitar la integración regional de los países centroamericanos (principalmente la panamericana o CA-I). Marginadas por mucho tiempo por razones económicas y políticas, las zonas fronterizas pueden convertirse en nuevos ejes de desarrollo en un espacio marcado por la presencia de numerosos enclaves y por la debilidad de los flujos interregionales.

Contrary to popular opinion, the boundaries which separate Central America into seven different countries, do not have their origin in the political divisions caused by the wars for independence fought at the beginning of the nineteenth century. They are the result of a long process of labor and consolidation which began with theSpanish Conquest, and is still going on. The purpose of this study is to place a very contemporary geopolitical view along a timeline, in order to better understand the formation of the territories and the nations that share Ihe isthmus. From this perspective, the border should not now be perceived as a single line, but as a spacewhose extension may evolve according to the era and the means of conununication available to facilitate the regional integration of the Central American countries (principally the Pan-Ameri can or CA-I). Long overlooked, for economic and political reasons, the border zones may be converted into new avenues of developmentin an area marked by the presence of numerous enclaves and by the weakness of flows between regions. |
