Abstract:This article surveys the Tacna-Arica plebiscite period (1925–1926) by taking into consideration the regional history alongside increasingly important global trends. While the contest between Peru and Chile highlights the battle between primordial versus constructed nationalism, it also places contested notions of nationalism alongside a growing spirit of internationalism. Woodrow Wilson's proclamations at the end of World War I, especially his focus on self-determination and justice, directly inspired leaders in Bolivia, Chile, and Peru to seek a finalization of the Tacna-Arica dispute. Despite the hope that Wilsonian principals would win the day, traditional concepts such as economics and power proved victorious, which underscored the fragility of humanitarian rights and justice between the world wars. This investigation into how global trends influenced Tacna-Arica are placed alongside contemporary comparisons of plebiscites held in Europe between the world wars.

太平洋的经济征服：重温 1925-1926 年的塔克纳-阿里卡公民投票

摘要：本文结合地区历史和日益重要的全球趋势，对塔克纳-阿里卡公民投票时期（1925-1926 年）进行了调查。虽然秘鲁和智利之间的竞争突出了原始民族主义与建构民族主义之间的斗争，但它也将有争议的民族主义概念与日益增长的国际主义精神放在一起。伍德罗·威尔逊在第一次世界大战结束时的宣言，特别是他对自决和正义的关注，直接激励了玻利维亚、智利和秘鲁的领导人寻求最终解决塔克纳-阿里卡争端。尽管希望威尔逊主义的校长能赢得胜利，但经济和权力等传统概念被证明是胜利的，这突显了两次世界大战之间人道主义权利和正义的脆弱性。
