Item type:Publication, Estados fact-checkers: una tipología sobre fact-checking ejecutado desde el Estado(2024-12-16)Over the last decade, fake news and disinformation levels have risen at an accelerated pace. Among the diverse tools to address disinformation, some States have adopted fact-checking as a measure to their governmental functions, whether anchored or transitory. Therefore, considering the limited exploration of the ties between verification systems and States, this article proposes a fact-checking typology from the state, categorizing African, Asian, and Latin American countries. This typology is based on two dimensions: scope and sustainability. Scope categorizes States that handle fact-checking at a national or sectoral level. Sustainability categorizes States that implement fact-checking permanently or temporarily. As a result, we conceptualize four types of strategies: (1) verification strategies, where States apply fact-checking permanently and at a national level; (2) operational strategies, where States use factchecking as a permanent verification mechanism but solely at the sectoral level; (3) discretional strategies, where States apply fact-checking at the national level but during specific periods; (4) prospective strategies, where States implement fact-checking at specific times and only at a sectoral level. Through qualitative methodology and information analysis, the article aims to demonstrate that a single conceptualization applies to multiple regions, beyond contextual dissimilarities and historical legacies. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Between disinterest and inequality: Perceptions of brokers and actors involved about the implementation of forest policies at the subnational level(Universidad de los Andes, Colombia, 2024-07-01)Objective/context: In 2020, Ucayali was the Peruvian region with the highest loss of Amazonian forest (47,267 hectares). Measures have been taken regarding climate commitments and environmental governance, but the results continue without notoriety, and mitigation actions are limited. From a subnational approach, the article seeks to analyze the perceptions of brokers and actors involved about the implementation of forest policies in the Ucayali region. Methodology: Based on a qualitative strategy that included semi-structured interviews and a co-construction workshop to evidence the perceptions of the actors involved, with direct knowledge of the territory and implementation, and intermediary agents (brokers), the latter with the capacity to influence the decisions made regarding the formulation of action plans. Conclusions: The results demonstrate the existence of a structural difficulty in achieving short- or long-term change actions. There are institutional limitations but also a lack of support from civil society. Originality: Considering the type and limited number of studies on perceptions of climate change-oriented policies, the results obtained allow for generating relevant evidence for policy formulation processes and articulation between different levels of government. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Corrupting Climate Change Institutions from the Inside: Systemic Collusion in the Peruvian Forest Governance(Elsevier BV, 2023-11-28)This article aims to contribute to the literature on natural resource corruption by analyzing the subnational political economy behind the little enforcement of anticorruption policies. Building on the political ecology approach to corruption, this article focuses on how economic and political interest colludes in a hybrid or ambivalent system that reproduces over and over corrupt practices. Zooming on the subnational case of Ucayali, we find four main factors contributing to understanding the poor enforcement of subnational governments of new forest regulations to reduce deforestation. The first one is infrastructural capacity, which is essential to understand the issue at hand, but it alone is insufficient to comprehend the systemic corruption in the forest sector. A second factor is the decentralization process and the subnational political economy. Our analysis shows the importance of economic and political dynamics at the subnational level in shaping national anti-corruption and deforestation reforms. A third element to consider is the divergent perspectives on the development of the Amazon. While in Peru, the environmental sector has witnessed significant growth at the national level, it still holds limited political influence. Conversely, positions advocating for economic activities that adversely impact the Amazon forest, such as extensive agriculture, exert more control over the region. A fourth factor is the historical marginalization of indigenous groups, who can serve as valuable allies in driving reforms. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The order behind disorder: informality, power, and the resilience of a transport policy trap in Lima, Peru(Elsevier BV, 2026-05-01)Massive internal migration in the sixties, a severe economic and social crisis in the eighties, and a radical neoliberal transport reform adopted in 1991 (Legislative Decree N° 651–1991) led to the emergence of a disorganized, inefficient, and costly transport system in Lima, Peru. In dialogue with the business power and policy feedback literature, we show that this system is rooted in the empowerment of leading private formal and informal transport actors and in the weakening of state transport control offices. These arrangements constitute what experts call a “policy trap,” a situation in which a trajectory is adopted that is difficult to escape due to prior reforms, public policies, and/or government decisions (Holland, 2017). This article analyzes two reform attempts to break the policy trap: the Integrated Transportation System (SIT) reform of 2011 and the creation of the Urban Transport Authority (ATU) in 2018. By focusing on the implementation of these reforms, we demonstrate the structural and instrumental power of informal and low-quality formal actors that sustain the system's continuity, particularly their successful strategies of resistance and adaptation to the reforms. We document how these actors engage politically to oppose the implementation of reforms, lobby and support political actors who can represent their interests, and adopt new modes of informal transport to circumvent or profit from the new conditions promoted by the reforms. These findings exemplify the considerable challenges that middle- and low-income states face in adopting and sustaining reforms to regulate informal activities, such as transport.1
