Political challenges in Peru after Fujimori’s\nPardon

\n\n \n \nAt the end of the 1980’s\, Peru was facing\ndifficult times. Under a sta te-controlled economy\, everyday experience was\ndetermined by scarcity\, hyperinflation\, and the killing and bombings of Shining\nPath. This seemi ngly unsurmountable situation began to change at the turn of\nthe followin g decade. Inflation was controlled\, terrorism defeated\, foreign\ncredit reestablished. Most state-owned companies were privatized\, labor laws\nwe re modified\, and local and foreign investment began to flow as the countr y\nopened itself to a globalized world.

\n\n\n\nToday\, even if the pace of its growth has\nslowed down\, the country’s transformation is und eniable. GDP has increased\ntenfold. Poverty decreased from more than half to a fifth of the population.\nExports are booming and so is construction . And low salaries and unemployment\nare no longer among the top national worries.

\n\n\n\nThe “good times”\, however\, have made more\nconsp icuous many of the country’s inveterate problems. Most of them show a\npro found disparity between Peru’s blooming private sector and a rather neglec ted\npublic sphere. An asymmetry\, as\nwell\, between Peruvians’ growing s elf-appraisal as consumers or entrepreneurs\nand a still weak self-underst anding as citizens. In essence: an erosion\, on the\ncusp of the bicentenn ial of its independence\, of a political arrangement not\nsufficiently roo ted in the first place: The Republic.
