CRIMINALIZATION OF THE INFORMAL ECONOMY ON THE SOUTH AMERICAN BORDERS. CASE STUDY OF THE TRIPLE FRONTIER OF PARANÁ AND THE SOUTH ANDEAN TRIPLE CENTRAL FRONTIER.

Abstract

The article aims to explore the dynamics of criminalization of the informal economy in two South American border territories, discussing with academic production about these territories during the last decade. For this we have addressed two informal circuits of border trade in the Market of Supplies of the Barrio Obrero (Ciudad del Este, Paraguay in the Triple Border of the Paraná) and the Fair of Clothing and Footwear of Second Use (Tacna, Peru in the Triple Central Border Andean South). The comparative and qualitative design of the research allows us to demonstrate and deepen the perceptions of the border actors around the dynamics of labor exclusion resulting from the economic restructuring in the South American border territories, allowing us to discuss not only with the current academic production but in addition to commercial and productive public policies in both border territories
