Résumé anglais The history of the isthmus of Panama, from Christopher Colombus to our day, can be seen as the piling up of various networks, either competing or complementary, on this narrow albeit strategic strip of land. These infrastructures symbolise the relation of America to itself and to the other continents, and underlie the history of the state of Panama. As the canal is becoming techologically obsolete, the geopolitical fate of the state of Panama in a context of globalisation is unclear.
