OVANDO SANTANA, Cristián  y  GONZALEZ MIRANDA, Sergio. Bilateral relations between Chile and Bolivia from the perspective of Tarapaca's demands: a theoretical approach from paradiplomacy as heterology. Estud. int. (Santiago, en línea) [online]. 2014, vol.46, n.177, pp.35-64. ISSN 0719-3769.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5354/0719-3769.2014.30868.

This paper addresses relations between Chile and Bolivia since 1904, year of the Treaty of Peace, and the 1960s, when conflict arises over the use of the waters of the Lauca River. Some integrationist historical events embarked in the adjoining regions of Tarapacá-Arica and Oruro, where the tension between region and nation-state can be observed are examined. The analysis focuses on the prominence of a diversity of political and social actors from the central states that encouraged and demanded greater integration with Bolivia. It is contended that those demands formed a cross-border regional political project in that period. The idea is to examine the significance and limitations of a series of regional practices of international significance, overshadowed or silenced by the official diplomacy, from the perspective of paradiplomacy as a social relationship or heterology.

Palabras clave : diplomacy; paradiplomacy; cross-border relationships; regional political project.
