application/pdf, This case study in Cape Verde is a part of the European Research Network's activities and evolved from our idea of constructing, against the tide of globalization, a “codevelopment” system for the 21st century planetary society, in which the problems of exclusion are increasingly frequent. It seeks to clarify the ways in which “wisdom for codevelopment” is lived and embodied in “frontier” or “liminal” territories, which themselves try to coexist while conflicting, merging, amalgamating, and intertwining with one another. Under such objectives, I conducted research and interviews in certain areas, regarding the autonomy and independence of such localities, the global inter-cooperation among the communities, and the composite/complex/hybrid identities of the community residents, while employing such key concepts as “metamorphosis” and “liminality.”
