摘要：Contrary to popular opinion, the boundaries which separate Central America into seven different countries, do not have their origin in the political divisions caused by the wars for independence fought at the beginning of the nineteenth century. They are the result of a long process of labor and consolidation which began with the Spanish Conquest, and is still going on. The purpose of this study is to place a very contemporary geopolitical view along a timeline, in order to better understand the formation of the territories and the nations that share Ihe isthmus. From this perspective, the border should not now be perceived as a single line, but as a space whose extension may evolve according to the era and the means of conununication available to facilitate the regional integration of the Central American countries (principally the Pan-Ameri can or CA-I). Long overlooked, for economic and political reasons, the border zones may be converted into new avenues of development in an area marked by the presence of numerous enclaves and by the weakness of flows between regions.
