The Initiative for the Integration of Regional South America Infraestructure (IIRSA) was released in 2000, proposed by Fernando Henrique Cardoso and agreed upon in conjunction with all other countries in South America. With projects of large constructions in areas of transportation, energy and communication, the Initiative has become an important milestone for regional integration at the turn of the 21st century, with an investment forecast of almost US$ 200 billion. The purpose of this work is to explore IIRSA from the point of view of favoring large business groups in heavy construction and agribusiness. While big companies such as Odebrecht, Camargo Correia, Queiroz Galvão, OAS and Andrade Gutierrez were responsible for several of the Initiative's constructions, the outlines of the projects followed the expansion of agricultural boundaries in the country, seeking to guarantee the flow of agribusiness production at a time of boom in commodities, mainly driven by the accelerated pace of the Chinese growth. We will also see, from the analysis of the publications of the Fórum Nacional and the magazines O Empreiteiro and Agroanalysis, how there was a strong mobilization of these sectors to guarantee the execution of IIRSA’s works, seeking to give their interests a bias of national interest. However, this project encounters a lot of resistance from groups affected by the constructions throughout South America, such as indigenous, riverside and quilombola populations, whose survival is directly linked to the territories impacted by the projects.
