| Sumario: | The Bi-Oceanic Road Corridor connecting Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Chile is a project aimed, among other objectives, at providing new development opportunities to peripheral regions in the Tropic of Capricorn. However, regional transformation requires more than just physical infrastructure; it particularly necessitates effective coordination among diverse actors to achieve development. The main objective of this document is to provide a detailed explanation of the actor network structure within the Bi-Oceanic Highway Corridor and propose a potential governance approach that facilitates improved coordination among participants. Through Social Network Analysis (SNA), we conducted an exploration of the participation dynamics and decision-making among the different actors involved. Our primary findings reveal a low level of private sector engagement, limited transnational links (with more interactions occurring among actors from the same country), scarce connections between national and subnational/local government actors, as well as minimal involvement of the national government in Argentina. Regarding the governance proposal, we suggest the creation of two new committees (Social and Environmental Development, and Border Security), the promotion of business missions with a regional integration approach, and the preservation of the progress made by the CVB Working Group. |
