A integração regional e os projetos de infraestrutura na América do Sul

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the issue of infrastructure from the regional integration held in South America, with special attention to the IIRSA. It sought to determine the chronological framework of creation of the Initiative examining the institutional conformation as well as the development of integration axis in order to get to know the main aspects of the interrelationship between integration and infrastructure applied to the southern part of the American continent. The presentation of the integration axis aims to establish a new decision-making process based on open regionalism, political dialogue and physical interconnection, like energy, transport or telecommunications. Intends, therefore, to perform a regional integration approach anchored in the development and integration of the derived effects of this approach.
