La política fronteriza del estado venezolano: Su incidencia en el desarrollo local del Municipio Bolívar en Táchira, Venezuela

Abstract

The concern, over the last few years, about the deepening of the social and economic problems on the Venezuelan borders has generated transformations in the regulations of the Venezuelan State. Nevertheless, on the colombiavenezuelan border an important gap can be observed between the institutional proposal and the specificity of the area. This is why the present article examines the National Constitution, The National Plan and the Border Law, with the purpose of knowing the border policies applied by the Venezuelan national government through these three tools and their repercussions on the local development of these zones. To do this, both the literature about the relationship between institutions- economic development, and local development, is examined. Bibliographic material, newspapers, magazines and videos are also explored. This is a descriptive study, with a documentary design.
