Item type:Publication, How much local autonomy is good for a city? An analysis of the Peruvian constitutional design for cities and its effects in the case of the Lima Metropolitan Area(Springer, 2021-01-01)The decentralization reform that started in Peru in 2002, which divided the country into regions, provinces and districts, was initially regarded as a just and long-postponed project. However, while the constitution grants all local governments political, economic and administrative autonomy, the rapid population growth many cities have experienced since then calls for the reevaluation of the whole design. This is especially the case for the Lima Metropolitan Area, of which the population has more than doubled since the 1980s. This chapter analyses the effects that being divided into various autonomous districts can have for the governance of a metropolis. We argue that the division causes practical difficulties for reasons rooted in the Peruvian constitutional design, and that this fragmentation hinders the provision of public services, reduces long-term planning and may cause spending inefficiencies. A reexamination of this flawed constitutional design for its cities could be the first step for Peru to finally adapt to its new urban reality as well as to keep up with future changes. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A Multi-Criteria Decision Framework for Circular Wastewater Systems in Emerging Megacities of the Global South(Elsevier BV, 2023-12-05)Lima faces increasing water stress due to demographic growth, climate change and outdated water management infrastructure. Moreover, its highly centralized wastewater management system is currently unable to recover water or other resources. Hence, the p... - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Policy Capabilities for Driving Sustainable Development: A Comparison of Two Regional Governments in Peru(Universidad del Pacifico, 2025-07-30)A 20 años de la creación de los Gobiernos regionales (GORE) peruanos, esta investigación identifica factores que pueden explicar el logro de distintos niveles de capacidades de políticas para el desarrollo, partiendo de marcos normativos y organizacionales similares. El estudio examina las capacidades marcadamente diferentes que alcanzaron dos GORE amazónicos hasta 2018: San Martín y Madre de Dios. Los hallazgos sugieren que factores estructurales e institucionales que preceden a la creación de estos Gobiernos son fundamentales para entender sus trayectorias distintas, en igual o mayor medida que decisiones de actores regionales o reglas aplicadas desde la creación de los GORE.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Participatory foresight in subnational policy processes: two experiences in Peru(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2026-01-01)This paper aims to illustrate the challenges faced by efforts to institutionalize participatory foresight as a regular component of policymaking processes in a developing country, based on the analysis of a country case (Peru) where national-level rules and guidelines have incorporated participatory foresight in policymaking and planning processes at the subnational level. Design/methodology/approach Exploratory research on the challenges faced when institutionalizing participatory foresight in policy processes, carried out as a case study of two relevant, official experiences at the subnational level in Peru. In-depth interviews, a survey of regional officials and literature review are used. Findings There have been significant regulatory advances; national officials seem committed to strengthening participatory foresight; and rules are being applied in regional planning processes and educational policy frameworks. However, the broader institutionalization of participatory foresight in a democratic context is incipient. Significant challenges are found within the operation of the national planning system, which sets rules and guidelines for incorporating participatory foresight, and also pertaining to participatory practices in general and the state–society relationship. Research limitations/implications This exploratory research, while addressing the early stages of institutionalization of participatory foresight in policymaking within a democratic context, sheds light on the types of challenges that should be addressed when designing and implementing policies and rules for expanding such practices in a developing country. Practical implications Findings suggest that making participatory foresight viable as a regular practice in policymaking not only requires changes in national planning systems, capacity building in subnational governments and adjustments at the methodological level, but also requires addressing weaknesses in overall participatory practices and state?society links in democratic settings. Social implications In an era of growing dissatisfaction with democracy in Latin America, participatory foresight could offer a way to incorporate citizens' aspirations and knowledge into policymaking. However, it is still not a widespread practice, and there is scarce evidence regarding how to make it work. This research highlights the challenges faced in Peru, and that may be faced when incorporating participatory foresight as policy in other developing countries. Originality/value In an era of growing dissatisfaction with democracy in Latin America, participatory foresight could offer a way to incorporate citizens' aspirations and knowledge into policymaking. However, it is still not a widespread practice. Recent academic literature finds that the “evidence base on foresight-use in policy-making is still largely anecdotal” (Reilly-King et al., 2024), and this study provides evidence from an ongoing case that can bring valuable evidence for decision-makers and researchers.
