This paper is an attempt to show how the Andean-borderland communities (Peru, Bolivia and Chile), which were considered through the nineteenth and part of the twentieth century, by the diplomatic and central-state institutions, as heterological, marginal and diplomatically negotiable territories, have reached, since the late twentieth century, a "strategic position" at local, regional, national and international levels, especially on transfrontier scaling. This position has been reached due to emerging processes such as globalization and glocalization. The Andean-highland communities of Ancomarca, Charaña and Visviri are discussed in the scope of this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the system of military conscription displayed by the Chilean State among its citizens. This is studied within the context of the Conscription Law of 1900, providing a characterization of conscription in Chile but especially in its Northern territories. The article explores the conscription in Northern Andean regions, which made possible the military enrolment of indigenous communities in the Chilean Army. Many of these people assumed roles such as Battalion Musicians, making possible the appearance of new cultural practices at a local level. The best example of this, is the emergence of brass bands which became an integral part of festivities in towns and sanctuaries in the Chilean Andes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the local context associated with taxes and tributes in the Andean communities of the Peruvian South, particularly in the community of Sibaya. Documents describing the social and economic conditions in which Sibaya inhabitants lived are analyzed in connection with two issues: (1) the problem that tax collection represented for foreign authorities (sub-delegates), and (2) the impossibility of the community of Sibaya to pay taxes and tributes due to the death of community members, the territorial dispersion of the local and foreign inhabitants, amid the precarious condition of the lands. This is an article which is partly aimed at offering a testimony on a moment in the past of the Andean societies located in Tarapaca during the 19th century and is, therefore, an opportunity to go through the silent period of Peruvian history to which the people living in the area of the Atacama Desert adhered.
