Keywords:
Federalism, Frontier, Historiography, Rio de la Plata region, National statesAbstract
In the independence process of the colonies in America, the federalism was present as ideology, a flag, an internal perspective of state organization or as a way to integrate the new states. The complexity of the building process of the new national states (modern/liberal) found the strength and, at the same time, limitation at the level of local and regional powers linked with the economic and social structure. In this sense, the federalism could be related to a decentralized and republican state perspective, as a state that keeps the local and regional autonomy of the powers, and the “old” social structure of the colonial period, raising difficulties in integration. Therefore, from a historiography study, especially on Rio de la Plata region, this paper intends to do a analyze the similarities and differences in the regional political federalist projects, or those of new National states in which the problem of the integration, frontier and fragmentation are present.
