The Southern Border Research Group performed an exploratory exercise and analytical - descriptive which deals with the lights and shadows of the treaty for the regional economy. Indeed, we study the benefits and consequences of international trade from the various schools of economic thought and its most relevant contributions to trade theory. Thereafter, we analyze the terms of the treaty and its impact on the regional economy, which can highlight the characteristics of the production structure of Nariño in the context of frontier economy.
