Social sciences Demographics economy trade market Political science international relations frontera Estados Unidos América Latina mitos representaciones. Ciencias sociales Demografía Economía Comercio Mercado Ciencias políticas Relaciones internacionales This article uses a comparative approach regarding frontier symbols and myths among the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean. Although wars fought over frontiers have greatly diminished throughout the world, the conception of frontier still held by the United States is that of a nationalist myth which embodies a semi-religious faith in the free market and democracy. On the other hand, Latin American and Caribbean countries, whose frontiers are far more complex, have shown extraordinary stability for several decades. This paper points out the risks involved in the spread of United States´ notions of frontier which, in addition, go hand-in-hand with the problem of multicultural segmentation. Although Latin American and Caribbean frontiers may be stable, they are vulnerable to the infiltration of foreing frontier representations. El artículo se propone realizar una aproximación comparativa entre las nociones de frontera y las representaciones fronterizas entre Estados Unidos y América Latina y el Caribe. Constata que el número de conflictos fronterizos en el mundo ha venido disminuyendo, que Estados Unidos concibe la frontera con un mito nacionalista que encarna la fe cuasi religiosa en el libre mercado y la democracia, y que el subcontinente americano, con fronteras más complejas que las estadounidenses, ha mostrado en este terreno una extraordinaria estabilidad desde hace décadas. El artículo alerta sobre los riesgos que pueden entrañar, al trasladarse a otros países, las representaciones fronterizas estadounidenses, que incluyen por otra parte la problemática de la segmentación multicultural. América Latina y el Caribe tienen fronteras estables, pero son vulnerables a las representaciones fronterizas provenientes del exterior. Palabras clave: frontera, Estados Unidos, América Latina, mitos, representaciones. 2005-01-01 2021-06-03T03:34:50Z 2021-06-03T03:34:50Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Comparative approach between the notions of border and border representations Aproximación comparativa entre las nociones de frontera y las representaciones fronterizas https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/218 10.21670/ref.2005.11.a01 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/6567 spa https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/218/382 https://ref.uabc.mx/ojs/index.php/ref/article/view/218/767 Derechos de autor 2014 Estudios Fronterizos Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades application/pdf text/html Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Estudios Fronterizos Revista; Vol. 6 No. 11 (2005); 9-38 Estudios Fronterizos; Vol. 6 Núm. 11 (2005); 9-38 2395-9134 0187-6961
