Abstract

This article contributes to the analysis of the current situation of cross‐border cooperation in Latin America. It explores an approach based on four components: (1) the development of an infrastructure project, (2) a high‐level political agreement, (3) the institutionalization of a framework to regulate the relationship between local authorities, and (4) other institutional arrangements focused on the participation of civil society in border areas. It also investigates the contribution of paradiplomacy to strengthening the endogenous capacity of border authorities.
