The basic concepts of networks, strategic alliances and, cooperation are discussed. Four cases of alliances are analyzed, based on the existent literature. Finally, the work is finished pointing the success reasons in an alliance.

Dendrogram constructed using the UPGMA algorithm based on allele distances of each of the 74 individuals analyzed with five microsatellite markers.
The individuals belong to four sampling zones: (1) dam zone, (2) Huaynamota River zone, (3) central reservoir zone, and (4) southern reservoir zone.
