The Strategies of Transnational Management of Sub-State Units of Double Periphery in Argentina and Chile. The Cases of the Jujuy Province and the Tarapacá Region

Abstract

The main research article studies the strategies of transnational management in double periphery sub-states units (DPSUs). This means, sub-state units that find themselves in double peripheral situations with respect to the states that they comprise and the international system. The cases of study are Jujuy province (Argentina) and Tarapacá region (Chile). The temporal space considered was from the constitutional reforms that recognized the sub-state units in each case’s capacity for international action through the conclusion of the presidencies of Cristina Fernández (1994-2015) and Sebastián Piñera (1991-2014). The hypothesis affirms that DPSUs relate with their closest peers creating a transborder sub-region of sub-state units with common interests, and using transnational management as a development tool. The approach was based on local development studies and paradiplomacy or international management studies to analyze the action of sub-state units. The cases were analyzed through interviews and bibliographic and documentary sources.
