Series Statement:
Borders and illegal markets in Latin America
Content:
"This volume demonstrates how Bolivia is part of a regional border system and intends to contribute to public policies, related to violence and distortions stemming from global illegal markets, specifically for vulnerable populations. The book offers a multi-national investigation on the changing and unknown image of the relationship systems that surround countries and, in particular, the structuring and functions of their borders. The chapters offer a reflection on how the lines of borders connect us to distant regions, which defines the real scope of the borders of globalization, while also impacting trade, labour flows and organized crime. The book reveals how Bolivia has advanced from an image of borders, built through territorial disputes with neighbours, to today's conception of them. In doing so, it argues that underlying tensions have developed between the local and the global; namely, Bolivia inserting itself into the global system of illegal markets, thereby generating critical scenarios for various social groups. Bolivia's Border System comprises the first research into Bolivia's border subsystem and illegal markets. It will be a vital resource for researchers of Bolivia, and Bolivian history, international relations, security studies, border studies, and contemporary Latin America"--
