The Tulumayo Wars and the Transformations of Local Power in the Context of the Counter-Insurgency War in Concepción, Junín
The subject of this research is the representation gap between the State and rural society in Peru during the 1990s, at the end of the political violence. In the 1980s, political violence was responsible for the disappearance of freely elected political representatives, both through the actions of Shining Path (which eliminated or drove them away) and of Fujimorism, which replaced them with officials subservient to the government but with no connection whatsoever to rural society. Understanding how political power has been reconfigured under such conditions will help propose alternatives that contribute to addressing the representation gap that exists today.
