Abstract

This project aims to understand how crises involving infrastructure in South America impacted the advancement of physical integration processes. Infrastructure integration in the region has advanced since the creation of IIRSA in 2000. However, conflicts have arisen throughout this process. This project aims to analyze how South American countries and regional institutions, such as UNASUL and MERCOSUL, reacted to this type of situation. To this end, we selected the cases of the natural gas crisis between Brazil and Bolivia in 2006, the expulsion of a Brazilian construction company in Ecuador in 2008, and the renegotiation of Itaipu tariffs with Paraguay in 2009. We therefore seek to analyze the consequences of these crises for regional integration. (AU)
