Desarrollo endógeno sostenible de regiones interfronterizas. La región de la Guajira-Colombia y el municipio la Guajira-Venezuela

This paper highlights that sustainable endogenous development of cross-border regions is determined by the quality of the institutional system and by the scope of regional leadership on each side of the border, which supports the dynamics of the substantive processes of the development model. It is assumed that sustainable development in its integral dimension of a region can be achieved through a process that is supported by an institutional infrastructure referred to the system of laws, regulations and effective norms that reinforce the capacity and aptitude of a place to make better use of its resources and achieve a dynamic territory that is competitive and enterprising; and for extended, proactive and strong leadership.
