Item type:Publication, Contextualizing Scenarios to Explore Social-Ecological Futures: A Three Step Participatory Case Study for the Humboldt Current Upwelling System(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-10-21)In the face of global change, the exploration of possible futures of marine social-ecological systems (MSES) becomes increasingly important. A variety of models aims at improving our understanding of ecosystem dynamics and complexities by assessing how systems react to internal and external drivers of change. However, these models are often built from a natural-science perspective through a reductionist and top-down knowledge production process that does not engage with the interests, concerns and knowledge of stakeholders. Our work explores different futures of the Peruvian MSES tied to the Humboldt Current Upwelling System (HCUS) through a sequential integrative participatory scenario process. The methodology used opens novel ways to explore, at different contextual levels, the uncertainties of the future and, in doing so, to include diverging world views of different actors. This approach implies a broader social processing of scientific projections about the future and encourages the articulation of different notions of sustainability. We thereby contribute to current scientific discussions on scenario planning in MSES by exploring potential futures through the analysis of narratives, a process that helps to identify plausible future development pathways that can inform different types of ecosystem modelling or policy making. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Regional development in Amazonas, Peru: science-society interactions for sustainability(SAGE Publishing, 2020-09-16)Scientific-technological knowledge maintains the anthropocentric power-pattern and exploitive attitude with regard to nature, but sustainability science asks for an integration of territorial and decontextualized knowledge systems. Visual participatory methodologies involving diverse local stakeholder facilitate dialogue on environmental and sustainability issues. Inspired by visual ethnography and mediated discourse analysis, the present article uses semiological analysis to reconstruct the depicted narratives on the nature-society system in drawings representing “regional development”. The drawings were elaborated in a series of participatory workshops involving university faculty and students, regional government and non-governmental organizations and farmers from local communities in the northern Amazonian region of Peru. The analysis reveals a prevailing anthropo and technology centered, “colonial” conception of the nature-society system, and a marginalization of alternative narratives. Beyond confirming the potential for visual participatory methods to enhance multi-stakeholder dialogue, it demonstrates how semiological analysis can be used to deepen an understanding of the cultural, organizational and technological constraints facing critical, trans-disciplinary efforts to decolonize the technology-centered, anthropocentric mainstream worldview of nature and society. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Peru: from exclusionary constitutionalism to a transformative one, progress and remaining challenges(2021-06-08)This article covers the evolution of key gender relations issues in Peruvian constitutions for almost a century, from 1931 to 2021. It analyses the path travelled from the exclusion of women as citizens to the achievement of parity in political participation; the transformation of the equality clause into one that has the possibility to incorporate discrimination based on sexual orientation as a prohibited category; as well as changes in the conception of maternity protection by the State, until one arrives at a provision that recognizes the right of people to decide individually about their reproductive choices. The article also reports on the participation of women in the struggle for these gains, their initiatives both in formal and informal spaces, as well as the demands of first and second wave feminist movements. All these points are organised through categories coined by Ruth Rubio Marín, to understand constitutionalism from a gender perspective: exclusionary, inclusive, participatory, and transformative constitutionalism. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Inclusive innovation in agricultural value chains: Lessons from use of a systems approach in diverse settings(Taylor & Francis, 2022-05-17)Systems approaches are widely promoted for inclusive innovation, but their use and results are seldom evaluated. We assessed applications of the Participatory Market Chain Approach (PMCA), which combines elements of innovation system and value chain approaches, in eight cases in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. We found that the PMCA performed best where the policy environment favoured value chain development, the chain offered significant potential for value addition, and the PMCA was implemented with high fidelity to its basic principles, and as part of a larger development effort. Facilitation was crucial for developing locally appropriate implementation procedures and engaging smallholders, commercial entrepreneurs, researchers, and other service providers throughout the PMCA application. By focusing on commercial innovation, the PMCA offered a strategic entry point for stimulating more systemic innovation. We conclude with six lessons on (1) how commercial innovation can trigger broader innovation; (2) the need to engage commercial entrepreneurs in innovation processes; (3) the importance of committed, motivated and capable facilitators; (4) the advantage of embedding the PMCA in a broader development effort; (5) how systems approaches can help R&D organizations respond better to market demands; and (6) the contributions of systems approaches to innovation capacity. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Participatory and healing methodologies with ANFASEP women: A collaborative learning project(2024-08-03)Based on collaborative work carried out with women, family members and volunteers of the National Association of Relatives of Kidnapped, Detained, and Disappeared of Peru (ANFASEP), we aim to present and analyze the development of a collaborative and healing methodology emerging from the dialogue between indigenous and urban identities. More specifically, members of ANFASEP and ourselves - the researchers – worked together to develop a deeper understanding of their collective, relational, and personal political agency within the framework of various projects conducted between the Institute of Democracy and Human Rights of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (IDEHPUCP) and ANFASEP from 2017 to 2023. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The perception of the impacts of climate change in communities surrounding Lake Titicaca, Peru-Bolivia.(Faculty of 1000, 2026-05-26)<ns3:p> Background Climate change is increasingly transforming socio-ecological systems in high-Andean regions, particularly in communities surrounding Lake Titicaca, where livelihoods depend heavily on climate-sensitive activities such as agriculture, fisheries, livestock, and tourism. Despite growing environmental pressures, limited evidence exists regarding how local populations and institutional actors perceive climate-related impacts and adaptive responses in this transboundary region. This study analyzes climate change perceptions, perceived impacts, and adaptation capacities in communities located in Puno Bay (Peru) and Cohana Bay (Bolivia). Methods A mixed-methods approach integrating quantitative and qualitative techniques was applied during fieldwork conducted in November 2024 and June 2025 in the communities of Quehuaya, Capachica, Guaqui, and Puno. Data collection included structured surveys administered to 62 community members and 26 institutional actors, semi-structured interviews, participatory workshops, and participatory mapping exercises. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and Spearman correlations were used for exploratory quantitative analysis, while qualitative information was analyzed through thematic coding and socio-ecological interpretation. Results Findings revealed high levels of climate change awareness among community members (85.5%) and institutional actors (100%). Respondents identified reduced rainfall, increasing temperatures, hydrological variability, declining agricultural productivity, reduced fish availability, and tourism-related impacts as the principal perceived effects. Significant differences were identified regarding adaptation measures (χ <ns3:sup>2</ns3:sup> = 14.96, p < 0.001) and institutional support (χ <ns3:sup>2</ns3:sup> = 18.32, p < 0.001), evidencing structural inequalities in adaptive capacity. A moderate positive correlation (ρ = 0.36, p = 0.003) was observed between climate perception and reported impacts. Conclusions Climate change is widely recognized across Lake Titicaca communities; however, adaptive capacity remains uneven due to disparities in institutional support, resources, and technical knowledge. Strengthening multi-level governance, participatory adaptation strategies, and transboundary cooperation is essential for improving resilience in Andean socio-ecological systems. </ns3:p>1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Impacts of Climate Change and its perception in communities surrounding Lake Titicaca, Peru-Bolivia.(Faculty of 1000, 2026-03-19)<ns3:p>Background Lake Titicaca underpins the livelihoods, culture, and ecosystems of high Andean Aymara and lakeside communities in Peru and Bolivia. Recent multi-year declines in lake level, rising temperatures, and greater climate variability threaten water supply, agriculture, fisheries, tourism, and public health. This study characterizes climate change impacts and local perceptions in lakeside sectors to inform adaptation and cross-border management. Methods A multidisciplinary, participatory approach combined: (1) exhaustive document review of physical and cultural drivers; (2) fieldwork (November 2024 and June 2025) in Quehuaya (Cohana Bay, Bolivia), Capachica (Puno Bay, Peru), Guaqui (Bolivia), and Puno urban area; and (3) participatory methods including community workshops with social mapping and surveys, six in-depth interviews, and a MINCETUR ecotourism seminar survey (n = 26). Data were triangulated with institutional meetings and synthesized quantitatively. Results Eighty-five percent of respondents reported observed climate change indicators; seventy-four percent noted decreased rainfall, and fifty-eight percent reported hotter days. Sectoral impacts included agriculture (61% affected; reduced yields and altered planting calendars), fishing (52% decline in species or volumes), livestock (50% impacts on pasture and water; 42% increased disease), and tourism (27–29% affected by reduced navigability and pollution). Fifty-three percent reported local adaptation actions (e.g., tolerant crops, water reservoirs, traditional practices), while external support from government or NGOs was limited (~18–19%). Primary needs were financing (76%), improved climate information (52%), and organizational strengthening (26%). Participatory mapping documented shoreline retreat and cultivation of exposed lakebeds. High perceived urgency and reported migration increases (53%) highlight socioeconomic vulnerability. Conclusions Communities around Lake Titicaca face a chronic water-deficit syndrome driven by climatic and local stressors, producing cascading ecological, economic, health, and cultural impacts. Reactive localized adaptations exist but are insufficient. Effective response requires integrated binational strategies: improved water storage and irrigation, wetland restoration, pollution control, real-time climate information, targeted financing, and strengthened institutional coordination.</ns3:p>1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Challenges and Opportunities for Sharing the Ownership in Peru(Routledge, 2025-01-01)The world has been living its processes so fast that when it looks back over its shoulder, it realizes that there are many changes needed to fix the flaws and tensions created due to speeding, to include everyone in the promise of progressive growth and prosperity within the current economic system. This issue is more evident in emerging markets, where institutional weaknesses, informal economies, and insufficient resources are considerable. Hence, our chapter explores how feasible the implementation of mechanisms of shared capitalism, specifically Employee Ownership initiatives, could be achieved in Peru. The result of our discussion proposes that traditional companies would suffer from an enormous inertia towards more inclusive and participatory business models because of what they have been doing to overcome the local institutional voids, contrary to new social businesses that could represent the start point of the diffusion of Employee Ownership practices in the Peruvian business community.1
