DILLA ALFONSO, Haroldo  e  ALVAREZ TORRES, Camila. ARICA/TACNA: THE ECONOMIC CIRCUITS OF A TRANSBORDER URBAN COMPLEX. Diálogo Andino [online]. 2018, n.57, pp.99-109. ISSN 0719-2681.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0719-26812018000300099.

The emergence of trans-border urban complexes in Latin America places the study of their economic circuits in the foreground. The binomial Arica / Tacna shows a variety of economic circuits, generally marked by informality, that in the main are resolved locally. This poses a heuristic challenge in terms of how these circuits generate transfers of values from one part to the other, giving rise to a process of unequal exchange favorable to the Chilean city. The article focuses on the sociological analysis of three circuits: the purchase of Peruvian labor force by Chilean capital, the so-called ant trade and Chilean consumption in Tacna.

Palavras-chave : Arica; Tacna; borders; unequal exchange; trans-border urban complexes.
