It compiles partial results of the research “Intersectoral network of Public Policies”, which address the potentialities and societal transformations, from the perspective of the territory and territorialities of the Brazilian and Paraguayan border. This scenario was played out by the development of the Bioceanic Road Corridor, whose process signals qualitative changes for the population of south matogrossense.
