초록

Latin American countries are approaching the bicentennial of the start of their wars of independence from Spain and Portugal, yet they still face more than a dozen unresolved territorial and boundary disputes. This work explores the persistence of territorial and boundary disputes in Latin America, focusing on the years since 1990 between Brazil and Colombia.
During the early 19th century, newly independent Gran Colombia and the Brazilian Empire under Dom Pedro II made several attempts to define an acceptable boundary. All these efforts proved unsuccessful. Two major factors worked against the delimitation of mutually acceptable boundaries between Brazil and Colombia. The first was the lack of reliable information on the geography of the frontier zone. Brazil was probably better informed as to the location and course of the many rivers that were proposed as dividing landmarks. This Brazilian advantage increased Colombia's fears; it hesitated to designate certain rivers or watersheds as boundary turning points without knowing precisely what was being relinquished and what was being gained. This problem vexed diplomats and impaired boundary commissions until well into the 20th century.
The relationship between the existence of territorial and boundary disputes, on the one hand, and war, on the other, is also complex. Scholarship on boundary and territorial disputes worldwide employs various approaches. This study analyze about Brasil-Colombian boundary disputes with framework, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). According to AHP, the ethnic problem is intensifying factor of Brazil-Colombian boundary dispute. The border of Brazil-Colombia is space of conflict but is also space of real life of many ethnic group.
