Abstract
In this introduction we take a comparative approach to analyze the most outstanding historical and contemporary political and social processes that constitute the Gran Chaco. We take a trinational perspective to examine five major processes that have shaped and continue to influence the socio-economic, political and cultural dynamics in the area: missionization, millenarian movements, the Chaco war, industrial enclaves, political mobilization and the struggle for rights. In each of these descriptions we highlight the peculiarities of how particular events involving different groups of people have developed and played out in each country. In the conclusion we emphasize the main themes that emerge from the chapters, emphasizing similarities and differences that have marked the broad transformations experienced in each country, and delineate present and future challenges that hinge upon the sustainability, both environmental and human, of this vast and complex region.
