The triple frontier region: territories of integration and disintegration

This article analyses the triple frontier (Foz do Iguaçú, Puerto Iguazu and Ciudad del Este) as a constructed territory, owned and controlled by actors, some of them extra-regional. These actors maintain between themselves ties that imply relations of power, and they are involved in activities and processes that have an effect on regional integration.
