    The Paraguay-Parana rivers waterway
    system (referred to in the text as the Hidrovia, or HPP) is

    sub-region and a possible integration mechanism for the
    Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) countries. However, 90
    percent of freight in the sub-region is moved by road

    This study has at its origin the land
    question in Paraguay, namely that land ownership is highly
    concentrated and has become a source of social conflict in
    the rural areas where one-half of the population lives. A
    central thesis of the study is that the existing patterns of
    land use and ownership, in particular, the very large land
    holdings (Zatifundio), are a reflection in part of the
    almost insignificant land tax that is charged today on rural
