“…The economic benefit used as justification for this highway, which is part of the IOC, is questionable, particularly in view of the existence of the IOS in eastern Acre, which has linked the capital of Acre (Rio Branco) with Pacific ports in Peru since the late 2000s. The IOS has been a disappointing mechanism for legitimate economic growth and produced an ongoing corruption scandal in Peru that has implicated four of the country's presidents (Alberti & Pereyra 2018, Perz & Rojas 2020. Indeed, the IOS obviates the argument that the Cruzeiro do Sul-Pucallpa highway is needed for the integration of Brazil's agricultural heartland with Peruvian ports, especially since the existing route is underutilized (Oliveira et al 2019).…”

Summary Protected areas have numerous roles (such as biodiversity preservation, the development of scientific research and the sustainable use of natural resources), but they are under threat from political and economic forces. The 837 000-ha Serra do Divisor National Park (SDNP) in the south-western Brazilian Amazon combines the conservation of natural resources and the maintenance of the productive activities of c. 400 resident families. The Brazilian and Peruvian governments have proposed a road linking Acre (Brazil) to Ucayali (Peru) that would bisect the SDNP. Another threat to the SDNP is a bill proposing its downgrading to an ‘environmental protection area’. This study aims to map the land cover of the SDNP and its surroundings from 1988 to 2018 and to analyse the dynamics of land-use change. Analysis of Landsat satellite images with supervised classification using the MaxVer algorithm show that, during the 30-year period, pasture showed the highest absolute land-cover gain, with 1986 ha in the interior and 7661 ha along the periphery of the SDNP. Only 1% of the park’s primary forest was lost by 2018, but the proposed road and potential downgrading may result in accelerated deforestation and forest degradation in the near future.

El objetivo de la investigación es analizar la relación existente entre desempeño y ejercicio de la corrupción en la construcción de la Carretera Interoceánica Sur, Tramos II y III, que conecta Perú con Brasil. Como metodología se utiliza la revisión bibliográfica y el estudio de caso. En la literatura seleccionada se hace énfasis en la relación de los factores de riesgo en los megaproyectos de infraestructura y las características genéricas que definen los actos de corrupción. Por otro lado, el estudio de caso utiliza los criterios de fracaso de Merrow para el desarrollo de megaproyectos de construcción. Asimismo, se examina si las exportaciones por la carretera contribuyen significativamente al comercio entre Perú y Brasil. Los resultados sugieren que tanto el proyecto como el contexto mostraron múltiples factores de riesgo durante el diseño, concepción y ejecución, relacionados con el fracaso del proyecto en el criterio de sobrecostos. Mientras tanto, el aumento del tráfico de exportación por la carretera no ha sido significativo y probablemente haya sido causado por factores externos que limitan el éxito del megaproyecto.
