This issue will evaluate political, economic, social and cultural developments in post-conflict Peru and address theoretical issues relevant to these topics.
It invites reflections on the nature of the Peruvian political system and the difficulties and challenges of consolidating democratic governance in Peru. It also invites examination of the legacy of Peru’s neoliberal turn under Fujimori.
How can we understand the persistence of the neoliberal hegemony in Peru, particularly given the shifts in other Latin American countries towards other models of social and economic organization challenging the Washington Consensus?
This is particularly puzzling given the fact that, as Peruvian commentators have wryly noted, presidents since 2001 have been elected thanks to their anti-neoliberal electoral platforms, but they conform to the neoliberal hegemony once in office.
What are the consequences of the neoliberal hegemony for development and for democratic representation and citizenship?
This special issue calls for theoretically grounded, empirically rich papers from any disciplinary field working on the politics, society and culture of Peru.
Manuscripts should be no longer than 8,000 words of paginated, double-spaced 12 point text with 1 inch margins, including notes and references. The manuscript should include an abstract of no more than 100 words and 5 key words. Include a separate cover sheet with author identification, basic biographical and contact information, including e-mail and postal addresses. The deadline is 5 February, 2016.
