          Abstract

          Resumen Este artículo identifica tres factores estructurantes del territorio transfronterizo conformado por la cuenca baja del río San Juan: 1) la formación del Estado nacional y la diferenciación territorial, 2) la influencia de ambiciones imperiales vinculadas al imperativo transístmico y 3) las relaciones de vecindad, integración y de conflicto y cooperación entre Costa Rica y Nicaragua. Se propone la permanencia del río San Juan como una constante en las relaciones interestatales entre Nicaragua y Costa Rica. Al ser una cuenca transfronteriza, se confiere al río San Juan una relevancia histórica, no solo como soporte parcial de un trazado limítrofe, sino también como unidad geomorfológica funcional y como zona de confluencia.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract This article identifies three structuring factors of this transboundary territory formed by the lower basin of the San Juan River: 1) the formation of the national State and territorial differentiation, 2) the influence of imperial ambitions linked to the transisthmian imperative, and 3) the relations of neighborhood, integration, and conflict and cooperation between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The article proposes that the permanence of the San Juan River as a constant in interstate relations between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. As a transboundary basin, the San Juan River is given historical relevance, not only as a partial support of a boundary, but also as a functional geomorphological unit, as a confluence zone between two national jurisdictions and as a lasting object of geopolitical rivalries over the past 200 years.
