  • The eastern plains of Colombia made up of the departments of Arauca, Casanare, Meta and Vichada are considered a border region and scene from the colony of exploitation and trade in raw materials, associated with livestock, agriculture and oil, fundamental of its population and economy. Through comparative quantitative and qualitative analysis, the research asked the question: Why, despite its significant agricultural production and large oil extraction, has the region not increased its contribution to the national gross domestic product, which does not exceed 6%? The suggested explanation suggests that the exploitation and trade of these raw materials occurred through the extractive and enclave economy models.

    The results and transformations achieved by these three sectors led to the region reaching its golden age. But there are still structural problems of development that contradict the effects of their economic growth and this is due to a dual situation: the growth achieved by the plains was not as spectacular as expected, at the same time, the conformation of capital and the State Although they obeyed the exploitation and trade of raw materials, they were not channeled towards the creation of democratic institutions or the implementation of productive projects that integrated the region into one, capable of being the protagonist in the management of the apparatus. State and the national market, as happened with the border areas of the United States and Canada.
