description This article analyses the on-going imaginaries about the Northern border which stem from the current discourses produced by the Ecuadorian legal, political and military establishments. Within the narratives constructed by these dis-courses, borders are seen as places in which disorder rules, as regions where democracy is not well established, and as areas which are prone to become war scenarios. Since the late 1980s, these imaginaries have been portraying borders as places of insecurity. According to the author, these discourses reproduce common-sense statements, which do not allow a full comprension of the situations and conditions lived by border societies.

Dentro de este imaginario, señala el autor, se inscriben por lo menos tres tópicos que circulan y se resignifican: se trata de zonas en las que impera el desorden y cuyo referente es jurídico; son regiones en donde la democracia está poco consolidada y su referente es político; y son án1bitos en donde es posible que reditúe la guerra y el referente es militar. Estos tópicos fueron la base a partir de la cual se entendió y describió la zona de frontera por parte de algunos intelectuales a finales de los años 80, llegando a convertir de esta forma, a la frontera, en depositaria de inseguridad. De acuerdo con el autor, el manejo de este tipo de discurso no ha permitido realizar un análisis real de la situación de las sociedades de frontera y se tiende a caer en lugares comunes propios de este discurso.Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Sede Ecuador2016-05-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/comentario/article/view/164Comentario Internacional: Journal of the Andean Center of International Studies; No. 6 (2006): Luces y sombras de la negociación del TLC; 271-298Comentario Internacional: Revista del Centro Andino de Estudios Internacionales; Núm. 6 (2006): Luces y sombras de la negociación del TLC; 271-2982631-25491390-1532reponame:Revista Comentario Internacionalinstname:Universidad Andina Simón Bolivarinstacron:UASBspahttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/comentario/article/view/164/171Derechos de autor 2016 Comentario Internacional.
