Las fronteras nacionales en la era de las autocracias militares

Abstract

The following study is conceived as an historie synopsis ofthe
evolution of the Venezuelan frontiers throughout the long
century of military autocracies. The synopsis covers the
following points: The Michelena-Pombo Treaty (1883), The
Frontiers Treaty with Brasil (1859), the Laud of Spain over the
Isle of Birds (1865), The Spanish Laud (1861), The Paris Laud
(1899), The fixing of boundaries of the frontiers (1900-1901),
The Swiss Laud (1922), and The Cucuta Treaty (1941). In the
last two subjects it is stressed the vilification of the territorial
concessions to foreign enterprises in the nineteenth century
and the false Civil and Military powers dilemma.
