Abstract

The idea of “deterritorialization” of social phenomena has become part of much of the literature on globalization, especially during the last two decades of the twentieth century. However, globalization has not brought the demise of borders or the irrelevance of territorial and local dimensions. The persistence of geographical disputes between states,the continuity and emergence of new conflicts over territory, and state efforts to control the border areas against the new transnational threats, demonstrate the importance of the territory. This article seeks to explain the problems and policies on security and irregular threats (drug) on the northern border of Chile, from the analysis of the Northern Border Plan.
