BRATICEVIC, Sergio. Implementation of Development Projects in the Chaco Central: The DIRLI Program's Regional Implications for Indigenous Communities. Frontera norte [online]. 2009, vol.21, n.42, pp.79-108. ISSN 2594-0260.

This article attempts to further the analysis of the dynamics of domestic indigenous and peasant economies. The examination occurs within a context of an expanding agrarian frontier, transborder regional-integration policies, and land-use and demographic planning programs promoted by the nation-state and international development agencies in the Chaco Central. Based on a description of the area and examining ideas about development, the article attempts to show the recent spatial transformations in the social construction of borders in northern Argentina.

Keywords : Region; development programs; social construction of borders; sedentarization; housing.
