La cooperaci n fronteriza debe ser parte de la columna vertebral de las acciones que fomenten la integraci n regional. Si no dejamos atr s la visi n tradicional de las fronteras como espacios amenazantes, vulnerables y conflictivos, y promovemos firmemente la visi n de las fronteras como espacios de encuentro que fomenten la integraci n regional y subnacional, esta tarea se vuelve muy dificil. La relaci n entre cooperaci n fronteriza e integraci n regional va en ambas direcciones. No s lo es necesaria la construcci n de confianza y el trabajo complementario e integrado en las fronteras para lograr una integraci n regional m s efectiva, tambi n los mecanismos de integraci n regional sirven como instrumentos y, por tanto, deben abrir los espacios necesarios para el di logo de los diversos actores protagonistas del desarrollo de las fronteras. El tema fronterizo debe contemplarse de manera importante en las agendas de los mecanismos regionales y subregionales. Todo esto implica que el proceso de construcci n de un proyecto pol tico estrat gico de integraci n regional latinoamericana debe incluir entre sus puntos el fomento, desarrollo y construcci n de una visi n estrat gica del desarrollo y la cooperaci n fronteriza. Description in English] Latin America and the Caribbean: Transborder Cooperation From divided territories to meeting spaces Border cooperation must be part of the backbone of actions to encourage regional integration. If we do not move on from the traditional view of borders as threatening, vulnerable and conflictive spaces and strongly promote the view that they are instead meeting spaces that encourage regional and subnational integration, then that task will be made very difficult. The relationship between border cooperation and regional integration works both ways. Not only is it necessary to build trust and work in a complementary and integrated fashion with regard to borders in order to achieve more effective regional integration, regional integration mechanisms also serve as instruments and should therefore open up the necessary spaces for dialog between the various main actors involved in border development. The border issue must be urgently addressed on the agendas of regional and sub-regional mechanisms. This means that the process of putting together a politico-strategic project for Latin American regional integration must include the promotion, development and construction of a strategic vision on border development and cooperation.
