Lessons from the End of Fujimorism. Presidential Legitimacy and Political Action
"The rapid collapse of Alberto Fujimori's regime in Peru during the second half of 2000 has provided abundant and substantial raw material for social and political analysis. An event of such magnitude — which also featured elements that were striking in themselves (such as the actions of a Machiavellian and all-powerful shadow advisor, the participation of prominent entertainment and media figures in murky government dealings, the President's flight while still in office to the very distant country of his ancestors, where he claimed and obtained nationality) — can serve, through careful and dispassionate analysis, to better understand Peruvian politics and society in the final decades of the twentieth century."
