RAMOS ROJAS,, Diego Noel. Gazes from southern Mexico on security and border. URVIO [online]. 2018, n.23, pp.57-72. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.23.2018.3551.

The well-known "southern border of Mexico" represents a multivariable and multifaceted phenomenon that embodies a complexity due to its cross-border region characteristic. It is worldwide identified as one of the most important human corridors. In this article we present a study about this situation from two complementary approaches. In one hand, we performed a conceptual, theoretical and contextual study about what this space represents, in different scales, from regional to global perspective. On the other hand, we present a micro study that approaches the perceptions of people who live at the border region, with testimonies collected in the cities located along the Suchiate riverside (border between Mexico and Guatemala).

Palavras-chave : border; Guatemala; human mobility; Mexico; national security.
