La llamada “frontera sur de México” representa un fenómeno multivariable y poliédrico, que encarna una complejidad por su carácter de región transfronteriza, a la vez que conforma uno de los corredores de movilidad humana más importantes del mundo. En este artículo presentamos un estudio sobre esta realidad a partir de dos acercamientos complementarios. En primer lugar, comprende un estudio conceptual, teórico y contextual sobre lo que representa ese espacio en diferentes escalas, desde la regional hasta la global. En segundo lugar, un estudio micro sobre las percepciones de las personas que viven la frontera, a partir de testimonios recogidos en las ciudades situadas en las orillas del río Suchiate (límite entre México y Guatemala). Abstract The well-known "southern border of Mexico" represents a multivariable and multifaceted phenomenon that embodies a complexity due to its cross-border region characteristic. It is worldwide identified as one of the most important human corridors. In this article we present a study about this situation from two complementary approaches. In one hand, we performed a conceptual, theoretical and contextual study about what this space represents, in different scales, from regional to global perspective. On the other hand, we present a micro study that approaches the perceptions of people who live at the border region, with testimonies collected in the cities located along the Suchiate riverside (border between Mexico and Guatemala).
