Spanish term or phrase: articulaciones

Text re Bolivia. For the UK.

I'm having trouble with the word 'articulaciones' here and word would it be the equivalent of 'partnerships/cooperations? Below are 2 paragraphs in which the word is used.

4. Las organizaciones indígenas han ampliado y consolidado alianzas y **articulaciones** a nivel regional y nacional, en cuyo marco construyen estrategias conjuntas e inciden en las políticas públicas a partir de sus propuestas

• Que las organizaciones indígenas y campesinas de tierras bajas continúen generando propuestas jurídicas y políticas vinculadas al reconocimiento y ejercicio de sus derechos colectivos, las cuales en el marco de **articulaciones*** y alianzas con otros sectores de la sociedad boliviana, sean analizadas y recogidas por las instancias estatales pertinentes.

networks

Explanation:
Hi--I think that in this context the better translation would be "networks" since "alianzas" already speaks to "partnerships/alliances".

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks, Liz :) - I saw those definitions on Proz but just wanted to see if there were any other possible options for my particular context.

representation

Explanation:
I've been reading some more cases where the term is used in reasonably similar cases, and this strikes me as the solution. Of course the original meaning is basically "connection" but this doesn't quite work here.
