Abstract

It analyzes the intellectual output that came up inspired by the foundation of the organization "Aymaras without Borders Strategic Alliance" (AWBSA) in 2001. The AWBSA gathers together 57 rural and bordering municipalities of Peru, Bolivia and Chile founded in the Chilean Andean area in Putre, near the triple frontier. The message of this organization suggested the emergency of a cultural emancipation and the awareness of its strategical position, becoming the border as a political resource, but inside the democratic institutional framework in these three countries, and taking advantage of the financial opportunities offered by international organisms to introduce development projects. Above said would be understood by academicians and specialists as the precision of phenomena typical of a new society as glocalization (Borja and Castells 1997). However, it is expected to demonstrate in this article that it was not just an illusion and that the processes of marginalization and poverty continued without greatest changes.
