Abstract
The Tri-Border Area has attracted great interest this century in the United States. It has been considered a possible source of jihadist terrorism, but according to many sources there are other US interests in the area, such as the Guarani Aquifer. The article discusses the real presence and US interests in the region, taking into account both the water projects that are currently being developed in the Western Hemisphere and presence of terrorism. Regarding the latter, this work is partially based on the investigations carried out by the Argentinian prosecutor Alberto Nisman. Building on this, this paper provides a prospective struc-tural analysis with the assistance of MICMAC software indicating a possible change of scenario.
