Abstract

Torrijos-Carter Treaties give the full rights of Panama Canal administration and force the U.S. military to leave the country gradually. Having a large inter-oceanic ships transit the channel requires an extension to meet such high demand. This extension consists of several phases: the first is geographical (Gaillard Cut) to meet the demands of carriers and the second is the construction of a third module locks, with high input of freshwater and cost involved. There is a split between the U.S. and Panama to discuss economic and security aspects of the Canal.
