With a view to facilitating the task of the officials responsible for the national studies, the ECLA secretariat prepared a guide which was also intended to ensure a certain amount of uniformity in the presentation of the studies with due regard for the specific conditions obtaining in each country. Studies of the industrial development of fourteen countries were submitted to the Latin American Symposium on Industrial Development, held in Santiago, Chile, from 14 to 25 March 1966, under the joint sponsorship of ECLA and the Centre for Industrial Development, and the Symposium requested ECLA to ask the Latin American Governments "to revise, complete and bring up to date the papers presented to the Symposium".

Ferrocarriles en el Perú: ¿Qué tan importantes fueron? Luis Felipe Zegarra* Abstract This paper analyzes the evolution and main features of the railway system of Peru in the 19th and early 20th centuries. From mid-19th century railroads were considered a promise for achieving progress. Several railroads were then built in Peru, especially in 1850-75 and in 1910-30. With the construction of railroads, Peruvians saved time in travelling and carrying freight. The faster service of railroads did not necessarily come at the cost of higher passenger fares and freight rates. Fares and rates were lower for railroads than for mules, especially for long distances. However, for some routes (especially for short distances with many curves), the traditional system of llamas remained as the lowest pecuniary cost (but also slowest) mode of transportation. Key words: Transportation, railroads, Peru, Latin America. JEL classification: N70, N76, R40. * Luis Felipe Zegarra is PhD in Economics of University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

About IRENA The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is an intergovernmental organisation that supports countries in their transition to a sustainable energy future, and serves as the principal platform for international cooperation, a centre of excellence, and a repository of policy, technology, resource and financial knowledge on renewable energy. IRENA promotes the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy, including bioenergy, geothermal, hydropower, ocean, solar and wind energy in the pursuit of sustainable development, energy access, energy security and low carbon economic growth and prosperity. Authors: Gauri Singh (IRENA), Alejandro Tapia (IRENA) and Sandra Chavez (IRENA) About RRA A Renewables Readiness Assessment (RRA) is a holistic evaluation of a country’s conditions and identifies the actions needed to overcome barriers to renewable energy deployment. This is a country-led process, with IRENA primarily providing technical support and expertise to facilitate consultations among different national stakeholders. While the RRA helps to shape appropriate policy and regulatory choices, each country determines which renewable energy sources and technologies are relevant and consistent with national priorities. The RRA is a dynamic process that can be adapted to each country’s circumstances and needs. Experience in a growing range of countries and regions, meanwhile, has allowed IRENA to continue refining the basic RRA methodology. In June 2013, IRENA published a guide for countries seeking to conduct the process in order to accelerate their renewable energy deployment.

  • Revolt in Iquitos Lima, Per February 22, 1956 R
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIKS WH American Embassy Revolt in Iquitos Lima, Per February 22, 1956 r. Walter S. Rogers Institute of Current World Affairs 522 Fifth Avenue New York 36, New York Dear r. Rogers: For .the last month Peruvian politics had been following a predictable pattern of violent verbal attacks delivered by govern- ment and oppoSition speakers against their enemies. Pedro Rossell6 and his cohorts took a swing through the politically powerful northern coastal region. The pro-government Partido Restaurador held big rallies in the southern provinces. The government appeared to be paying heed to the demands of the opposition by relaxing the Law of Internal Security of the Republic and de- claring a partial political amnesty; anti-gov.ernment attacks were overlooked, and opposition parties and papers were allowed to operate in relatively complete freedom. To many people it looked as though Per was going through a violent political campaign which would ultimately end in dmocratic presidential e.!ections this June third. Then, on the afternoon of Friday, February the sixteenth, the government suddenly reversed its lenient attitude. In a series of well-planned moves, the Odrla police arrested Bedro Beltrn, direc- tor of LA PRENSA, Pedro Rossell6, leader of the Coalici6n Nacional, and other opposition figures. Those who wished to save their skins fled to the protection of foreign ebassies in the city or to the provinces. A moderate form of martial law was declared. Reason for the abrupt about face, said the government, was the revolt on February sixteenth of certain elements of the Divisi6n de la Selva (Forest Division) stationed in the jungle city of Iquitos.
