<span lang="EN-US">This article analyzes the border paradiplomacy used by more than 50 municipalities from Bolivia, Chile and Peru, named “Aymaras without Borders Strategic Alliance”.

Furthermore, it is possible to conclude that this non-violent strategy has been successful in the last 15 years.</span>
