Item type:Publication, El Estado, el diálogo y la transformación de los conflictos socioambientales(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de Ciencias de la Naturaleza, Territorio y Energías Renovables (INTE-PUCP), 2020-09-08)This article discusses the necessary linkages that must exist between the State and the dialogue. To propose that the State is the space for dialogue par excellence, the text relies on the ethical nature that is inherent in the constitution of the State. Furthermore, the State represents a strategic and forward-looking perspective for human life in the world that is expressed and founded on such important issues as equality, recognition and democracy. This reflection about the State aims to reposition the role of the State in the face of its actual difficulties and limitations at becoming a true space for dialogue. The article reviews the characteristics that any dialogue must have taking into account the characteristics of conflicts, and especially socio-environmental ones, and their transformation process. It insists on the role of openness, open communication and permanent negotiation that the State must play to face the challenges posed by society and the environment. Finally, the article seeks to review ideas and concepts related to dialogue, redefine criteria and raise the need to build capacities and public policies to adequately face the challenges and conflicts that may arise. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The environmentalization of mining in Colombia, Chile, and Peru: A comparative analysis of green state formation(Elsevier, 2020-11-26)The environmentalization of mining is similar but different in Colombia, Chile, and Peru, and adopting an embeddedness theory framework helps to explain this. Green state formation diffuses because the international political economy demands so: world society embeds the economy and pushes for environmental rights, which leads to trade rules. However, particular institutional and ecological contexts shape the development of distinct varieties of state greening. In particular, the 1970s and 1990s junctures were windows of opportunity for diverse green state formation processes, conditioned by their respective national contexts: there was an early start with decentralized features in Colombia, a late beginning and constrained state formation in Chile, and very late and mostly legal progress in Peru. Environmentalization is highly idiosyncratic, characterized by policy and law progressivism in Colombia, neoliberal technocraticism in Chile, and lawmaking with the lowest bureaucratic autonomy in Peru. Mining being so powerful, its environmental impacts so complex, and green state formation so restricted or minimal, the environmentalization of mining appears formal and discursive for the most part, especially in Peru's weak state. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, From paper institutions to bureaucratic autonomy: institutional change as a resource curse remedy(Elsevier, 2021-07-01)Over the last three decades, drawn by international influence and local discontent, mineral-dependent Peru has progressed in the acquisition of environmental protection regulations and policies for its mining industry. However, for regulations and policy announcements to matter, in face of power asymmetries and economic dependence, there must be bureaucratic autonomy. The cases of Hualgayoc and Pasco, scenarios of long and distinct processes of environmental damage and contention regarding mining in the Peruvian Andes, show fairly limited progress in environmental protection. This study on institutional change begins at the 1990s domestic-neoliberalism-meets-global-environmentalism juncture. The triumphant policy ideology of liberal boosting of the economy structured newborn environmental functions of the state for its mining industry. We show that pressures from above —the greened international political economy— and below —grassroots activism and protest— are contextual conditions enabling formal institutional change: they compel a resource-dependent developing country to carry out institutional reform to protect the environment from extractive industries. However, accretion of formal rules does not bring on their own bureaucratic autonomy for environmental protection. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Gobierno Corporativo y Corrupción Empresarial en las Empresas Estatales(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2022-12-12)Currently, according to the latest survey of perception on corruption in Perú corruption is the second biggest problem for the country, the first being citizen insecurity. In recent years, Peru has experienced many corruption scandals closely related to private sector companies, such as the Lava Jato, Club de la Construcción cases, among others; where the participation of public companies under private law such as Petro Perú stands out. For this reason, it is proposed to promote tools such as the governance of the principles of good corporate governance as a mechanism for the prevention of corporate corruption. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Maps’ agency and mountains’ multiplicity: Conflicts triggered by state maps involving pilgrims and desired mining futures in the Andes(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024-09-01)This article analyzes how the agency of state maps triggered conflicts between rural communities, pilgrims, and state institutions, in which some mountains emerged as multiple entities within and beyond the nature-culture divide. The Quyllurit'i shrine is the focus of an important pilgrimage in the Andes. The Peruvian state established the shrine´s Protected Area in 2010 but had been granting mining concessions around it. Confronted with a state map of the Protected Area surrounded by mining concessions, the pilgrims' organizations called for their nullification and staged protests in Cuzco city in 2016. Meanwhile, the community within which the shrine is located experienced the establishment of the Protected Area as a process of land expropriation. Its members were holders of the mining concessions and aimed to conduct mining on their lands. Mining concessions, the Protected Area, and land titles were the state maps mediating these conflicts. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Theory of Phase-Adaptive Parametric Cooling(American Physical Society, 2023-05-01)We propose an adaptive phase technique for the parametric cooling of mechanical oscillators. Our scheme calls for a sequence of periodic adjustments of the phase of a parametric modulation of the mechanical oscillator that is conditioned on measurements of its two quadratures. The technique indicates an exponential loss of thermal energy at initial high occupancies, similar in performance to other optomechanical techniques such as cold-damping or cavity self-cooling. As the quantum ground state is approached, the phase adaptive scheme leads to residual occupancies at the level of a few phonons owing to the competition between parametric amplification of quantum fluctuations and the feedback action. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Roles and Legitimacy of the Communal Indigenous Authorities: Landlords, Ruwales and Relations with the State in Q’ero Communities (Cusco, Peru, 1922-2020)(Universidad Catolica del Norte, 2023-01-01)This article analyzes the roles and legitimacy of the communal authorities at the Q’ero hacienda (Paucartambo, Cusco) and the communities emerging therefrom. The colonial state established the hacienda in the XVII century. However, in 1922, its authority structure was more characteristic of communities descending from colonial Councils of Indians (Cabildos de Indios). Based on ethnographic records beginning in 1922 and fieldwork conducted in 2007 and 2008, the article shows how communal indigenous authorities, whose external legitimacy came from the landlord and the state, were essential to organizing hacienda work. As part of their role as mediators between humans and ruwales (places with agency and intentionality), these authorities were responsible for the rainy season festivities. When the hacienda closed in the 1960s, the state recognized these collectives as ‘peasant communities’ and imposed a new authority structure. While these new authorities were in charge of the relations with the state, the communal indigenous authorities continued in their roles. Their legitimacy emerged directly from the community of humans and ruwales and was only weakly tied to the state.
