<br/><br/> The crisis that characterized the period after the First World War rendered specific forms of expertise necessary in Peru. Indeed, these forms of expertise were supposed to bring pragmatic and effective answers to new socio-economic challenges. By focusing on the forms of exploration of the Peruvian Amazon, as well as on the activities of civil and military engineers which take place there, this research sheds light on the close relationship between the formation of technical elites, the production of geographic knowledge and the construction of the state.
