Peru’s self-proclaimed 鈥渞evolution鈥濃攕urprisingly extensive reforms initiated by the military government鈥攈as aroused great interest all over Latin America and the Third World. This book is the first systematic and comprehensive attempt to appraise Peru’s current experiment in both national and regional perspective. It compares recent innovative approaches to Peru’s problems with the methods used by earlier regimes, providing original and stimulating interpretations of contemporary Peru from the viewpoints of political science, sociology, history, economics, and education.

Among the issues considered are the military regime’s policies regarding income distribution, foreign investment, education, urbanization, worker-management relations, and land reform.

Contributors: Abraham F. Lowenthal, Julio Cotler, Richard Webb, David Collier, Susan Bourque and Scott Palmer, Colin Harding, Robert Drysdale and Robert Myers, Shane Hunt, Peter T. Knight, Jane Jaquette.
