| Sumario: | The article examines the relations between the hegemonic groups in Cobija and the Bolivian Litoral and the central power, during the administration of José Ballivián (1841-47). It is based on the fact that there was a separated local power in Cobija with a differentiated project from the one of the State, focused on the claim of tariff protection, internal security in the face of the arrival of Chileans, effective control of the territory against the claims of neighboring countries on the “guaneras” and the building of needed infrastructure. The executive presented a shy project for the Litoral, with differential tariffs, the fight against smuggling and investment in the cargo transport with animal force, but with the real objective of taking Arica or turning the commercial circuits towards the river connection with the Atlantic in the Orientes. None of them was fully applied, so in the 1840s the Bolivian Litoral remained a marginal space within the incipient Republic, estranging the leading groups in the area in respect to the national project of the State. |
