Abstract

PRECI, Gabriel Alejandro. Legal aspects about urbanization of the Argentine frontier: the case of the Policía de Radicación. Estud. front [online]. 2020, vol.21, e056.  Epub Jan 15, 2021. ISSN 2395-9134.  https://doi.org/10.21670/ref.2014056.

The present work aims to analyze the scope of the figure of the Policía de Radicación in Argentina’s “zonas de seguridad de fronteras”. By means of a chronological review, we will describe basic aspects of its legal regulation, especially those related to the progressive exclusions of its application in different urban centers. Its consecration in 1944 was based on a strict application of the doctrine of national defense, promoting the acquisition of real estate in favor of native Argentines at the expense of foreigners from neighboring countries. We intend to show/present from a legal perspective how the evolution and mitigation of this police control over real estate on the Argentine frontier is related to the dynamic nature of the latter. Scattered norms that gradually recognized the dimensions of sustainable development and integration in the Argentine periphery, influenced the gradual blurring of the mission and functions of the Police of Radication in different urban centers.

Keywords : Policía de Radicación; Argentine frontier; development frontier; integration frontier.
