Argentina is one of these where a large part of the population countries, with 600 000 people who faces pro,lems gaining access to land, recogni.e themselves as indigenous, national par6s have emerged as a representing 1.01 of the nation2s entire relevant tool for indigenous peoples to population. Nevertheless, these recover their ancestral lands, especially populations are still too often than6s to a new process ta6ing place in marginali.ed on a regional scale. This is these territories: co-management. the case for the Mapuche in the Nahuel 4uapi National 5ar6, located in the two Keywords: mountain, indigenous, provinces of Rio Negro and Neu7u8n.

This is the case in the southern Argentinean Andes1, 1 The Andinean frontier, defined as the ,order ,etween Chile and Argentina, has denied the e9istence of indigenous realities on ,oth sides of the mountain range (Amilhat-S.ary, 006). Argentina ,ecame independent in 1810 and Chile in 181 . This emancipation from the Spanish crown would permit the two newly-formed countries, in their 7uest for territorial and economic e9pansion, to envisage the con7uest of the southern part of the continent. This would ,e called the ACon7uest of the DesertB in 138 Revue de géographie alpine/Journal of Alpine Research Vol. 98-2010 Conflic s and coopera ion in he moun ainous Mapuche erri ory where most of the Mapuche still live in rural communities in and around the mountainous National 5ar6 Nahuel 4uapi (N5N4) (Fig. 1). The N5N4 is representative of a mountain with various uses as well as contradictory and controversial representations (De,ar,ieu9 1990 and 001C Dolfus, 1989) such as: a natural space, a geopolitical tool, a place for transit and e9change, an economical asset, a powerful ur,ani.ation factor through touristic development (101 population increase over the last fifteen years in San Carlos de Bariloche), and, finally, an ancestral territory for the Mapuche. Conflicts arise ,etween the Mapuche2s demands for ancestral land restitution3 and never-ending ur,an and touristic growth. In this controversial conte9t, how can a national par6, with its distinctive territorial identity and sustaina,ility o,-ectives, diverge from standard policies in light of indigenous issuesH Figure 1. Location of the Nahuel Huapi National Park in the Andes. Authors’ map, 2009 Argentina, or the A5acification of the AraucariaB in Chile. This territorial fight to con7uer 5atagonia would come to an end in 188 , through an ar,itration from the British crown, which would define the frontier ,etween the two countries as passing over the summits of the Andes. According to the INDEC (The Argentinean statistics institute) E01 of the Mapuche are now living in ur,an areas in Chile and Argentina. 3 The Mapuche are officially ac7uiring, through a slow process, credi,ility and legitimacy in the international sphere (UN, etc.), ,ut also more and more sympathy from the western world due to media coverage of their fight (Le Bonniec, Guevara, 008). 139 Revue de géographie alpine/Journal of Alpine Research Vol. 98-2010 Renaud Miniconi, Sylvain )uyo The Nahuel Huapi National Park: a fragmented territory The Nahuel 4uapi National 5ar62s creation participates in diverse ways in the history and the reinvention of the mountain2s contradictory uses and representations: - In the Mapuche2s perception, the mountain appears as a sym,olic o,-ect. It plays an important role in the cosmology4 of this transandinean population (initiatory -ourneys, spirituali.ing nature, etc.). This perception is perfectly integrated into the idea of a sacred mountain, a recurring notion since Anti7uity. - For the Argentinean e9plorer Francisco Moreno0, the mountain seems more li6e a space to preserve for its natural aesthetic. It also serves as a geopolitical tool to define the ,order in the delicate conte9t of the con7uest of 5atagonia. - Finally, for the two cities of San Carlos de Bariloche6 and Iilla la AngosturaE, located in the heart of the national par6, the mountain is a tool for touristic development and therefore acts as the principal motor for the local economy. Throughout the 0th century, the sta6eholders managing the national par6 and its riverside cities have attempted to apply these contradictory logics while denying the cosmology and practices of the Mapuche. These different territorial perceptions create today a growing num,er of conflicts. Geopolitical sta6es and ur,an sprawl: which conceptions of developmentH The park as a stabilizer of the frontier The long-disputed ,order ,etween Argentina and Chile was esta,lished in 188 , and then was marginally modified in 190 following ar,itration ,y the British crown (Gallois, 1903). The creation of the National Nahuel 4uapi 5ar6 therefore appears as one of the essential historical elements in the political sta,ility of this region ,ordering Chile. In order to avoid new re,ellions that could lead to other conflicts, F. Moreno, highly influential in Argentina, proposed to create protected areas along the ,order with a view to demarcate the territory and to populate the lands with civilians and not the military. In 1903, F. Moreno returned E000 hectares of land that had ,een offered to him, in gratitude for his numerous e9plorations, in the aim of creating these protected areas. On this space, under the name of ASouthern National 5ar6,B the first national Argentinean par6 was esta,lished in 19 . Then, with the creation of the National 5ar6 Administration in 1934, the par6 assumed the name of Nahuel 4uapi. This type of territorial demarcation would ,e e9tensively used in Argentina and in Chile (Fig. ). 4 The cosmology consists of a set of elements and ,eliefs constituent of Mapuche culture. 0 Francisco Moreno was an Argentinean e9plorer, naturalist, and geographer. 6 93 101 inha,itants in 001C 008 estimate, 100 000 (INDEC).

The creation of a national par6 thus represents a verita,le white domination land strategy that generates conflicts. Tourism, an economic stepping stone? For whom? The creation of the par6s acted as an economic stepping stone for the entire region, particularly for initiators of large-scale development pro-ects.

  • ACML Bulletin and Proceedings. Richard Hugh Pinnell University of Waterloo
    BOOK REVIEWS 207 are bound into the volume in two separate locations - immediately after chapter seventeen and after the appendix. Despite the book's shortcomings, it is unquestionably a worthwhile acquisition for those who serve the general public. Explorations brings to the attention of the general reader some of the excellent research on the history of the mapping of Canada which has for too long remained inaccessible within the pages of the ACML Bulletin and Proceedings. Richard Hugh Pinnell University of Waterloo The Northward Expansion of Canada, 1914-1967. MORRIS ZASLOW. Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 1988. 421 p. ISBN 0-7710-9071-4. Before one can properly review The Northward Expansion of Canada, 1914-1967, it is necessary to place the book in context as one of the nineteen-volume Canadian Centenary Series. The stated goal of the series editors was to explore the history of the peoples and lands which form the Canadian nation, through "volumes sufficiently large to permit adequate treatment of all the phases of the theme in light of modem knowledge" (p. ix). Each volume followed the prescribed format of general narra- tive, giving a balanced treatment to economic, social, and political history. The editors were fully aware of the difficulties which such constraints would impose on the individual authors, but they were confident that the rewards were worth the risks. With the spirit of Canada's centennial providing the impetus and the burgeoning supply of new archival sources furnishing the raw materials, W.L. Morton and Donald Creighton felt "justified" in publishing a new "cooperative" history of Canada.

  • Frontier Culture: the Roots and Persistence of “Rugged Individualism” in the United States Samuel Bazzi, Martin Fiszbein, and Mesay Gebresilasse NBER Working Paper No
    Frontier Culture: The Roots and Persistence of “Rugged Individualism” in the United States Samuel Bazzi, Martin Fiszbein, and Mesay Gebresilasse NBER Working Paper No. 23997 November 2017, Revised August 2020 JEL No. D72,H2,N31,N91,P16 ABSTRACT The presence of a westward-moving frontier of settlement shaped early U.S. history. In 1893, the historian Frederick Jackson Turner famously argued that the American frontier fostered individualism. We investigate the Frontier Thesis and identify its long-run implications for culture and politics. We track the frontier throughout the 1790–1890 period and construct a novel, county-level measure of total frontier experience (TFE). Historically, frontier locations had distinctive demographics and greater individualism. Long after the closing of the frontier, counties with greater TFE exhibit more pervasive individualism and opposition to redistribution. This pattern cuts across known divides in the U.S., including urban–rural and north–south. We provide evidence on the roots of frontier culture, identifying both selective migration and a causal effect of frontier exposure on individualism. Overall, our findings shed new light on the frontier’s persistent legacy of rugged individualism.

Patagonia is stunning. The majestic Andes reach nearly 23,000 feet into the western sky while the plateau of steppes and grasslands stretch forever on their way to the Atlantic. This is unspoiled natural beauty on a scale like New Zealand's but twice as remote. It is the setting for seven of the eleven nights and four of the six rounds on our newest Escorted Tour, The Best of Argentina ~ Patagonia and Buenos Aires Escorted 2018. This is a tale of two trips because we begin with four nights and two rounds in Buenos Aires, the high energy cosmopolitan heart of Argentina. Lonely Planet writer Sandra Bao, who was born here in the capital, says 'BA is sexy, vibrant and supremely confident. It looks a bit European but with edgy Latin American twist.' That's a picture that paints itself when you remember it was Argentina that gave us the tango. Our golf here includes Olivos Golf Club, one of the finest clubs in South American and 2016 host to the 111th Argentina Open, plus the fine Buenos Aries Golf Club, site of Tiger Wood's and David Duval's World Golf Championship victory in 2000. A steak dinner at any of the parrillas (beef restaurants) in San Telmo, a trendy barrio with cobblestone streets just six blocks from Plaza de Mayo, promises the most authentic churrasco experience imaginable.

Abstract This article examines rural development in the North Andean region of Río Negro province, Argentina. The authors analyze an environmental area suitable for extensive rural development that is not fully integrated as a productive area. Additionally, this article associates present difficulties with structural contradictions inherent in its regional incorporation to the national and provincial administrations. It then investigates the significant terms that characterized territorial policies, while illuminating how these terms viewed the inhabitants of the region and their activities. Finally, the article goes on to expose how the limits to the dynamics of integration are sustained by growth models that, based on notions of progress, development, and innovation, have overlooked local productive actors. Keywords: rural development; progress; technical innovation; northern Andean region; territorial integration; economic policy. 1.

The article contributes to the debate on rural development, both from economic and multi-causal perspectives (Garcés, 2019), as well as from other perspectives that seek to improve the way theoretical considerations are transformed into policy interventions (Lattuada et al., 2015).
