    Governmentality in Evidence? Evolving Rationalities of Forest Governance in Peru
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2023-06-01)
    During the recent decades, the effectiveness, sustainability and equity of environmental and resource policies have become increasingly intertwined in governance reforms. This situation with potentially inherent trade-offs has challenged not only the policy planners and implementers, but also the scientific and expert communities to justify the role of specific forms of scientific knowledge in the pursue of multiple and often conflicting objectives. Evidence is a closure of a particular science-policy interface in which the offered scientific knowledge satisfies institutional decision-making criteria. Therefore, for decision-makers evidence is not only information that is judged useful to make their decisions but also a persuasive tool for them to justify the decisions made through giving reasons. We focus on how different prevailing decision-making and administrative rationalities, governmentalities, have shaped the knowledge base and epistemic requirements of forest governance in Peru. We depict a shift from a forester-dominated to legalistic and neoliberal forest governance structure whose main goal has been to foster the forest economy under an economistic sustainable resource use mentality. Increasingly complex administrative processes to support tracing timber extraction, transport and trade have resulted from the institutional adjustments, but, parallelly, also emerging participatory planning processes have challenged and re-politicized the forest governance structure.

    Beyond the State: Abortion Care Activism in Peru
    (University of Chicago Press, 2023-03-01)
    For abortion seekers, Peru is an uncaring state where legal and policy interventions have resulted in violence, persecution, and neglect. This state of abortion uncare is set within historic and ongoing denials of reproductive autonomy, coercive reproductive care, and the marginalization of abortion. Abortion is not supported, even where legally permissible. Here we explore abortion care activism within the Peruvian context, foregrounding a key mobilization that has emerged against a state of uncare—acompañante care work. Through interviews with people involved in abortion access and activism in Peru, we argue that acompañantes have constructed an infrastructure of abortion care by bringing together actors, technologies, and strategies. This infrastructure is shaped by a feminist ethic of care that differs from minority-world assumptions regarding high-quality abortion care in three key ways: first, care is provided beyond the state; second, care is holistic; and, finally, care is collective. We argue that US feminist debates relating to the emerging hyperrestrictive state of abortion uncare, as well as broader research on feminist care, can learn from acompañante activism strategically and conceptually.

    Aging across unequal landscapes in Perú: demographic transition, diverging paths, and policy challenges
    (Oxford University Press, 2026-05-01)
    Perú, a middle-income country in South America with a population of approximately 34 million, is experiencing a demographic shift toward an aging population. Whereas the working-age population remains large, the proportion of adults aged 65 and older has been steadily increasing, with a rising old-age dependency ratio that is projected to continue in the coming decades. Aging in Perú occurs within highly unequal social and geographic contexts, exposing older adults to disparities in income, health care, and long-term care access. Despite recent growth in gerontological research, significant gaps persist, particularly in the study of social determinants of health such as caregiving, social protections, and access to health care and infrastructure. We provide an overview of demographic aging in Perú, review the emerging landscape of aging research, highlight key scholars and institutions, summarize available data sets, and identify pressing policy and social challenges affecting older adults in Perú. Addressing these issues is essential for promoting equitable, healthy, and dignified aging in a country facing a rapid demographic transformation.
