Resumen
HAROLDO, Dilla Alfonso y DE JESUS CEDANO, Sobeida. On problems and opportunities - Urban border intermediation in Dominican Republic. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2005, vol.67, n.1, pp.99-126. ISSN 2594-0651.
The border shared by Dominican Republic and Haiti experiences a radical transformation as a result of the growing binational trade, the increment of migratory flows and the installation of industrial free zones. The cities located along the border assume new functions in this process of binational regionalization that implies the subordination of the Haitian borderlands to the processes of capitalist accumulation. This process is visible in the relation established between the Dominican city of Dajabon and its Haitian counterpart of Ouanaminthe, that constitute a binational urban complex in which the Haitian part begins to function like a typical poor neighborhood of the Dominican metropolis.
