Nicaragua’s Canal : Unlikelier than Ever

Since late December, when preliminary work on a transoceanic canal traversing Nicaragua began, there’s been little cause for optimism concerning the project’s future. The Chinese telecom executive spearheading the endeavor has no experience in large-scale construction, or any construction for that matter. Local populations directly affected by the proposed canal have taken to the streets repeatedly over the last six months to protest construction—demonstrations which have turned violent on several occasions. And environmentalists have been sounding the alarm about the disastrous ecological costs the project would exact.
