This study explores the persistence of traditional ways of trading between the Andean region of Northern Patagonia and Southern Chile. A weak presence of both countries (Chile and Argentina) in those regions perhaps facilitated the survival of that kind of trading, making the frontier a social space with its own long term characteristics. The policies implemented by the Chilean and Argentinean States-especially in the Chilean case, after the international economical crisis during the 1929-1930 period– and the installation of the ISI model after World War II, had an influence in the region mentioned, provoking its slow but definitive reorientation to the Atlantic markets, especially in the case of the province of Neuquén in Argentina.
