Abstract

This article aims to discuss the variation in violent death rates and control policies at the Triple Border. The study provides a comparison between the three sides border. On the Brazilian side were implemented three control policies with different profiles, from the 1990s: two are development policies and police operations. The first policy was the project "Beira-Rio" which promoted the removal of slums that were in the Paraná river ravines. One consequence of this policy was the increase in mortality rates in Foz do Iguaçu, specifically between the years 1998-2006. The second policy adopted on the Brazilian side was the intensification of security forces to curb the "Sacoleiro circuit". The immediate result of this policy was the development of a series of changes in the illicit practices that have spread to the entire region. As result, Foz do Iguaçu mortality rates fell from 2006, but spread to neighboring municipalities. The third control policy is under development and it is the "Beira Foz" project, which won support from Itaipu Binacional and the state and federal governments. On the Argentine side and on the Paraguayan side, development policies did not influence the behavior of lethality on their respective sides.
