Aysén: state, capital and socioterritorial configuration (1900-1960) [aysén: estado, capital y configuración socioterritorial (1900-1960)]

This document reflects on the territorial integration of the Aysen region in Chile between 1900 and 1960. The start of this period is associated with the land awarding to cattle investors to assert sovereignty to colonize through concessions given the late involvement of the State to institutionalize the region. Aysen was the last region to integrate into the national economy. The análisis ended in the decade of the 1960s when The Economic Geography published the last books of the Corporación de Fomento de la Producción (Corporation of Promoting Production CORFO in Spanish). This source provides statistics and the country’s image at a time of significant agrarian reform and the chilenisation of the mining wealth.
