More from Fabiola Bazo and Max Cameron on Peru: “Peru’s Election: Left Turn Versus U-Turn”.
An excerpt:
“Whoever wins the runoff in June will govern a country that has serious political and social problems, despite a decade of economic growth. Although conservative pundits worry that Humala will follow Chavez’s model and use constitutional reform to impose radical change, it is more likely that he will find himself fenced in by a hostile media, a wary business community, a dysfunctional state, and a fragmented congress. If Keiko Fujimori is elected, the current economic model would be preserved, seasoned with populist poverty-alleviation strategies and contempt for democratic institutions.”
