Nouveaux espaces en amérique du sud : La frontière Paraguayo-brésilienne

Abstract

In easternmost Paraguay, Brazilian pioneers have introduced original spatial organisation. This « Braziguayan » area is no longer strictly Paraguayan, but it cannot be considered as the mere western extension of patterns prevailing in southern Brazil either. This area, which was recently on the edge of human settlement, has become a contact zone between local, national, macro-regional and even global spatial structures.
