MARTNER PEYRELONGUE, Carlos. El sur también existe: el corredor multimodal del istmo de Tehuantepec en la era de la globalización. Región y sociedad [online]. 2012, vol.24, n.54, pp.97-134. ISSN 2448-4849.

One century after the heyday of the inter-oceanic crossing through the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, where huge volumes of goods were moved between the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, the dawn of the 21st Century brings with it an interest in implementing a project, called Isthmus of Tehuantepec Logistic System, aimed at repositioning this southeastern Mexican region as a significant mobility hub linked to globalization's modern transportation networks. In this sense, this article aims to provide elements for the analysis of a potential multimodal corridor through the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, based on a structural-systemic approach which emphasizes the geo-economic determinations of a global area of networks and flows made up of production chains fragmented on a continental and/or planetary scale, whose integration requires new forms of transportation and communication.

Keywords : transportation; globalization; region; Isthmus of Tehuantepec; network; multimodal corridor.
