The Peruvian Labyrinth: Polity, Society, Economy
The Peruvian Labyrinth should be required reading for all who wish to understand the myriad complexities of the contemporary politics of Peru. --Victor Peralta Ruiz, Interdisciplinary Studies of Latin America and the CaribbeanAn authoritative, well-written, and up-to-date account of the 1970s to 1990s in Peru, The Peruvian Labyrinth concentrates on the Fujimori regime and its achievements, particularly in its search for economic stability and sustained development. It is objective, and also critical of the regime in some respects, questioning it in terms of the way democracy is viewed and applied. --British Bulletin of PublicationsIf you seek to navigate through the complex, often confusing terrain of contemporary Peruvian politics, The Peruvian Labyrinth is an essential guidebook. The volume s essays, grounded in solid empirical research, are full of analytical insights that will be of interest not only to students of Peruvian politics but also to theorists of state-society relations, institution building, and democratization. --Jo-Marie Burt, Political Science Quarterly
