The purpose of this article is to present and reaffirm the importance of shared public health management on the Brazil-Bolivia border. To this end, bibliographic and documentary surveys were carried out, as well as interviews with 14 experts who form the Community of Inquiry, an investigation method developed by John Dewey that provides a useful lens for studies on shared management, as it emphasizes the plurality of actors beyond the actions of the State, demonstrating how public health problems are dealt with in the region. Specifically, we detail part of COVID-19's first operations (February to June 2020) in the municipalities of Corumbá and Ladário (Brazil) and Puerto Quijarro and Puerto Suarez (Bolivia). Recognizing the political dimension of the problematic situation, we rekindle the importance of governance for combating the COVID-19 pandemic and for the shared management of other urgent local epidemics, such as dengue and H1N1 on the border.

This article studies the marketing and sales of used clothing at the border between Bolivia and Brazil. The clothes cross through several countries via various forms of transportation, undergoing processes of smuggling, reuse, and wardrobe redefinition. At the end of the 20th century, the used clothing market acquired major importance through the involvement of North American and European nongovernmental organizations in collecting these goods in the form of donations to then send to South American countries, where the garments are remarketed. The used clothes take long voyages to get to Chilean ports, and then journey by train and other means of transportation toward Bolivia's eastern border with Brazil. Puerto Quijarro, Bolivia, and Corumbá, Brazil, represent an encounter of cultural and commercial exchange where smuggling and the buying and selling of used clothes are part of the cities' day-to-day engagement.
