A country perceived as having unusually complex political,
economic, and social problems, Peru has long fascinated social
scientists. The Peruvian Labyrinth brings together a new generation
of scholars to explore the multifaceted Peruvian "experiment" as it
has evolved further, in often dramatic ways, in the 1980s and
1990s.
The volume focuses special attention on the administration of
Albert Fujimori, who suspended the constitution in 1992, two years
after he first became president, but then was reelected in 1995.
The experience of Peru under his regime raises important questions
about the nature of democracy in Latin America, the challenges of
economic and political reform, and the prospects for combining
stable democratic governance and sustained development.
Topics covered in the volume include the legacies of democratic
transitions, human rights and political violence, the decline of
the Shining Path, the Fujimori "autogolpe," the changing roles of
business and organized labor, the political impact of the informal
sector, changes in the agrarian sector, and the shift in economic
strategies from developmentalism and toward neoliberalism.
