Len,

At http://tinyurl.com/34msm [find within that long page "Boliviamar"] there's a
Peruvian proposal for modernizing the 1992 agreements with Bolivia concerning
the "Zona Franca Industrial" at Ilo and the
"Zona Franca Turística de Playa (BOLIVIAMAR)" by re-creating them into a "Zona
Económica Especial para Bolivia en Ilo" and "Zona Turística Especial para
Bolivia en Ilo," respectively, for 99 years, renewable.

To me, these sound more like leases or franchises, not enclaves.
