Politics, Pollution and Risk: Lessons from Mining in Peru

• In Event: New Research on the Politics of Natural Resource Extraction in the Andes

Abstract

This study seeks to understand new regulatory laws related to investments in Peru and other Andean nations, which may have non-anticipated effects by reducing the role of state institutions over the environmental health impact of resource extraction. The study departs from an analysis of the Peruvian case, also considering cases from other contexts in the Andean region.
