- Title
SOBERANÍA Y CORRUPCIÓN. LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DEL ESTADO Y LA PROPIEDAD EN PATAGONIA AUSTRAL (ARGENTINA Y CHILE, 1840-1920).

- Abstract
This article analyzes the Argentinian and Chilean state's colonization in southern Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego arguing that for the making of their effective territorial sovereignties, the formation of private proprietorship was crucial. This process is understood by studying the expansion of British and German surplus capital, favored by a racialized criterion for accessing privileges and by the articulation of transnational networks of corruption that linked national authorities and local elites of European origin. Thus, the article argues, corruption built overlapping commercial and family associations that allowed both states to establish their presence in the zone. The article is mainly based on Argentinian, British and Chilean administrative sources, corporate files, memoirs and travelogues, genealogies and local and national press.
