“…No obstante, últimamente las investigaciones prestan atención a las prácticas fronterizas entre habitantes de ciuda-des colindantes, como entre Mexicali y Caléxico o Tijuana y San Diego, donde las personas cruzan diaria o semanalmente para estudiar, trabajar o comprar en uno y otro lado de la frontera (Parella, 2014). De manera similar ocurre entre Estados Unidos y Canadá donde los habitantes fronterizos aprovechan las diferencias del cambio para hacer compras al otro lado (Konrad & Nicol, 2011). En la frontera entre México con Guatemala y Belice las investigaciones se focalizan específicamen-te en el estado de Chiapas, principal receptor de mano de obra temporal centroamericano (Rojas et al, 2008).…”

Resumen. En este artículo se abordan las razones que explican la movilidad por salud de los habitantes de Arica hacia la ciudad de Tacna basado en una metodología mixta (encuesta y entrevistas). Este movimiento corresponde a las personas que cruzan la frontera con fines médicos, tanto para atenderse en servicios de salud peruanos como para comprar medicamentos, lentes u otros en la ciudad de Tacna. Se parte del supuesto que dichos cruces ocurren con independencia de los litigios fronterizos y están motivados por la mercantilización y deficiencias del sistema chileno de salud pública y por una oferta tacneña más económica, de mejor trato y de acceso rápido a especialistas y exámenes médicos. Sin embargo, la movilidad por salud responde a controles rutinarios, chequeos médicos o de segunda opinión y en menor medida a procedimientos médicos de mayor complejidad debido a la inexistencia de cobertura por seguros, desconocimiento y en algunos casos, desconfianza por los resultados.

Adopting a mixed-methods approach (surveys and interviews), this article addresses the phenomenon of health mobility from Arica to Tacna. It shows that Arica's inhabitants cross the border to the city of Tacna for purposes such as using the Peruvian health services, purchasing medicines, glasses and other commodities. The argument is that irrespective of border disputes, bordercrossing takes place as a result of the increasing commoditization and low quality of Chile's public health system. Tacna, instead, offers affordable and generally better services, with quick access to specialists and medical examinations. Yet, while routine controls, health checks and second-opinion visits motivate border-crossing in large measure, complex medical procedures feature less prominent-Este artículo es resultado del Proyecto FONDECYT Regular N° 1150123 "Cruzar y vivir en la frontera de Arica y Tacna.

“…A better understanding of these border issues can be realized through historical trend analysis, operational tactical decision analysis, as well as strategic planning and forecasting. Currently, most borderlands analysis are single theme-oriented, such as economic integration of the border regions [Bergs, 2012;Sousa, 2012], cross-border cultural diversity and dynamism [Konrad and Nicol, 2011], trans-boundary environmental issues [Hannis et. al., 2013], combat against cross-border crime [Lo, 2009], and foreign diplomatic presence [Xierali and Liu, 2006].…”

ABSTRACT:Borderland regions are special areas and deserve more attention in global sustainable development. Reliable information and effective analysis tools are requested to support borderlands studies through the integrated utilization of geospatial analysis, web service, as well as the other domain-specific expertise. This paper has reviewed the state-of-the-art of borderlands modelling and understanding. From the perspective of geospatial information sciences (GIS), integrated data modelling, comprehensive analysis and collaborative information service are identified as the three major challenges in this filed. A research agenda is further proposed with four topics, i.e., classification and representation of borderland information, derivation of neighborhood information, development of synergetic analysis, and design and development of a geo-portal for borderlands studies. This interdisciplinary study requires a closer and in-depth collaboration of geopolitics, international relation, geography and geo-spatial information sciences.

“…Scholars have identified the crucial role of borderland communities as organized polities inside the larger institutional architecture of belonging, underlining the importance of local culture. Indeed, although international borders divide stateless nations, borderland communities may remain unified by culture (ethnicity, language and/or religion) or local political institutions (Konrad and Nicol, 2011). Their capacity for local political organization and activism influences the very nature and functioning of the boundary.…”

ABSTRACT:Borders are increasingly complex human responses and social constructions in a world where globalizing forces confront basic human concerns for security and certainty. In an effort to provide a background to assess research directions for imaging borders, this paper explores what we know about borders, and what we do not know well about borders. Borders in globalization are the meeting points of globalizing forces of security, trade and migration flows with emerging technologies, self determination and regionalization around the world. We need to know more about how: self determination fuels secessions and new borders; borders result from complex rather than simple policy and governance issues; borders depend on the political clout of borderland communities; market and migration flows impact borders; and borders are always in motion. The paper shows how these organizing principles underlie the basic themes of border governance, flows, culture, history, security and sustainability. Finally, the paper offers two brief illustrations of border imaging to link this presentation to the following discussion of the workshop.
