The Tulumayo Wars and the Transformations of Local Power in the Context of the Counter-Subversive War in Concepción, Junín
This work aims to analyze the representation gap between the State and rural society in Peru during the 1990s, at the conclusion of political violence. In the 1980s, the violence was responsible for the disappearance of freely elected political representatives, both through the action of Sendero Luminoso (which eliminated or drove them away) and through Fujimorism, which replaced them with officials subservient to the government but who had no connection whatsoever with rural society. Understanding the ways in which political power has been reconfigured under such conditions will help propose alternatives that contribute to addressing the existing representation gap.
