本文探讨了南美洲区域基础设施一体化倡议（IIRSA）的历史演变和地理偏见。该研究分析了该倡议起源于1990年代巴西规划的新自由主义化; 2000-2010年期间第一轮跨境基础设施投资的特点，以及在南美洲最近的后新自由主义过渡之后，该倡议原封不动地纳入南美国家联盟机构。本文将IIRSA的“整合和发展轴线”的空间规划框架概念化为新自由主义领土设计的持久形式。通过优先考虑物流走廊的公共投资，IIRSA优先考虑选定出口部门的全球竞争力，而不是所有其他基础设施提供和宏观区域规划考虑。它还强调了地理上的不平衡发展，未能反映广泛的城市化动态。该分析得到了档案研究的支持，政策文件的仔细阅读和主要的实地考察在巴西边境的罗赖马州进行，说明了社会空间的影响，IIRSA已产生的地面上，通过其选择性的道路发展和缺乏全面的规划，在圭亚那盾轴-指定的走廊与最低的投资水平。除了对IIRSA进行全面的实证评估外，本文还旨在通过强调国家干预（重新）塑造广泛的网络化基础设施的方式，为新自由主义的多样化地理和新兴的全球城市化辩论的文献做出贡献，这反过来又会制约城市化进程和城市间关系。本文的结论包括政策建议和对未来研究的建议。
This paper examines the historical evolution and geographic biases of the Initiative for the Integration of South America’s Regional Infrastructure (IIRSA). The study presents an analysis of the initiative’s origins in the neoliberalization of Brazilian planning in 1990s; the characteristics of its first round of cross-border infrastructure investments during the 2000–2010 period and its unaltered incorporation into the UNASUR institution, following South America’s recent post-neoliberal transition. The paper conceptualizes IIRSA’s spatial planning framework of ‘integration and development axes’ as an enduring form of neoliberal territorial design. By prioritising public investment in logistics corridors, IIRSA has privileged the global competitiveness of select export sectors over all other infrastructure provision and macro-regional planning considerations. It also aggravates geographically uneven development and fails to reflect extensive urbanization dynamics. The analysis is supported by archival research, a careful reading of policy documents and primary fieldwork conducted in the borderland Brazilian state of Roraima which illustrates the socio-spatial impacts that IIRSA has produced on the ground through its selective roadway development and lack of comprehensive planning in the Guianese Shield Axis – the designated corridor with the lowest level of investment. In addition to presenting a comprehensive empirical assessment of IIRSA, the paper aims to contribute to the literature on the variegated geographies of neoliberalism and emerging debates on planetary urbanization by emphasizing the ways in which state intervention (re)shapes extensive networked infrastructures, which, in turn, condition urbanization processes and inter-urban relations. The paper’s conclusion includes policy recommendations and suggestions for future research.
