Abstract

ARANDA BUSTAMANTE, Gilberto  and  SALINAS CANAS, Sergio. Aymara paradiplomacy: Empowerment on the border. Estud. front [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.35, pp.90-106. ISSN 2395-9134.  https://doi.org/10.21670/ref.2017.35.a05.

This article analyzes paradiplomacy along the border in more than 50 municipalities in Bolivia, Chile, and Peru through the “Aymaras without Borders Strategic Alliance.” Despite the historical construction of differentiated national identities between these three countries, a literature review reveals the existence of unprecedented cross-border relations. Meanwhile, it can be concluded that paradiplomacy has been an effective non-violent strategy for the last 15 years.

Keywords : diplomacy; paradiplomacy; cross-border relationships; regional political project.
