    Taking stock of corporate social responsibility practices in Peru: the role of internal and external CSR, accountability and citizenship
    (Inderscience Publishers, 2022-01-01)
    This paper reviews corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its challenges in four main Peruvian private sectors (agroindustry, construction, mining and manufacturing). Based on the lessons learned, it aims at raising awareness on CSR crucial role in Peru, and responsiveness on sustainable development issues, while providing a roadmap to practitioners to measure CSR compliance. Through a qualitative approach, the question this paper intends to answer is to what extent Peruvian companies comply with internal and external CSR practices along with accountability and citizenship. To answer this question, we selected a purposive sample of private sector Peruvian companies; structured interviews have been conducted to measure and then compare their compliance rate concerning the mentioned CSR dimensions. While still much needs to be improved concerning CSR practices in these Peruvian private sectors, based on our research, citizenship appears to be a critical aspect which needs further attention by companies and policymakers in Peru.

    Explaining Varying Green Hydrogen Ambitions: State Capacity and Business Positioning in Chile and Peru
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2025)
    Green hydrogen (GH2) ambitions vary significantly across Latin America, despite the region’s favourable conditions for production. This article investigates the contrasting trajectories of GH2 sector development in Chile and Peru – two countries with similar natural endowments but divergent levels of engagement. Drawing on a political economy perspective, the article develops a theoretical typology based on the interaction between state capacity and business positioning. It identifies four ideal-type configurations of state-business relations: cooperative, contentious, business-driven/project-based, and non-alignment/non-development. This typology offers a heuristic tool for analysing different pathways of engagement with GH2. Using a comparative case study design grounded in documentary analysis and 17 expert interviews, the article shows that Chile follows a cooperative model, where a high-capacity state and a supportive business sector jointly advance GH2 development through strategic coordination, public investment, and international partnerships. In contrast, Peru exemplifies a business-driven, fragmented approach, shaped by low state capacity, institutional volatility, and the influence of a powerful fossil fuel sector. The findings highlight the importance of state-business configurations in shaping green industrial policy in the Global South and point to future research avenues including the role of fossil sector resistance, external actors, and civil society mobilization.
