Party Structure and People’s War by J. A. Kortze A Thesis Presented to the Graduate and Research Committee of Lehigh University in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts in Political Science Lehigh University 2 May 2011 Copyright J. A. Kortze ii Acknowledgements I am quite indebted to Dr. Nandini Deo for her patience and guidance throughout the process of writing this thesis. With her gracious help and support, combined with her general perspicacity, I was able to take an inchoate set of ideas on Maoist rebel groups and turn it into a fairly coherent final product. I would also like to thank Ranjan Kamath for affording me time for an interview. His knowledge of the Naxalite insurgency in India was astounding, and his keen observations after traveling throughout India suggest the dangers of underdevelopment and illustrate the appeal of the Maoist rebels. Dr. Rick Matthews, Dr. Holona Ochs, Dr. Vera Fennell and Joseph Haas were all quite instrumental in reading the various drafts of this thesis and offering very useful feedback and constructive criticism, and for that, I am grateful. -

Neoliberal Extractivism and Rural Resistance: the Anti-Mining Movement in the Peruvian Northern Highlands, Cajamarca (2011-2013)
Neoliberal Extractivism and Rural Resistance: The Anti-Mining Movement in the Peruvian Northern Highlands, Cajamarca (2011-2013) Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Ji-Hyun, Seo September 2014 2 This PhD dissertation is dedicated to my parents who have taught me how to live in this world, keeping 易 地 思 之 and 木 鷄 之 德 in mind. With endless 恭 敬. 3 Abstract Neoliberal Extractivism and Rural Resistance: The Anti-Mining Movement in the Peruvian Northern Highlands, Cajamarca (2011-2013) By Ji-Hyun Seo This dissertation examines the political prospects of rural subaltern groups in the era of neoliberal globalisation by engaging with the „death of the peasantry‟ debates. To achieve this, it concentrates on rural resistance in the northern highlands of Peru, Cajamarca, against „new mineral extraction‟ by multinational capital in the form of Minera Yanacocha S.A. (MYSA), with a theoretical framework of critical geography on transnational activism. In particular, the dissertation devotes attention to the massive mobilisations against MYSA‟s Conga mining project between 2011 and 2013. The dispossession and disempowerment of the peasantry have been highlighted as the accumulation of global capital has intensified alongside the implementation of market-led development models around the globe. In the 1990s, the extraction and export of abundant natural resources was promoted as a „new development alternative‟. In tandem with the unprecedented width and depth of resource extraction, the continent has become witness to increasing incidences of struggles led by local communities, particularly in the countryside. -

Why New Parties Split: the Schism of Peru’S United Left in Comparative Perspective
J. Lat. Amer. Stud., Page of © Cambridge University Press doi:./SX Why New Parties Split: The Schism of Peru’s United Left in Comparative Perspective BRANDON VAN DYCK* Abstract. Why do new parties split? Scholars of new party schisms shy away from leadership-centred explanations for fear of excessive voluntarism and thus fail to con- ceptualise differences between leaders systematically. This article challenges that trend, arguing that externally appealing, internally dominant leaders generate cohesion in new parties. It analyses why some externally appealing leaders are internally dominant, while others are not, and argues that this variation can make the difference between schism and survival. The article supports its argument through a representative case study: the fatal (and consequential) schism of Peru’s United Left coalition in the late s. Keywords: political parties, Latin America, cohesion, leadership, theory construction Introduction The vast majority of new political parties die. Nevertheless, existing scholar- ship largely ignores unsuccessful cases of party-building and focuses on the small number of success stories.

UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Universality and Utopia In
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Universality and Utopia in 20th Century Peruvian Indigenismo A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature by Daniel Sacilotto 2018 © Copyright by Daniel Sacilotto 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Universality and Utopia in 20th Century Peruvian Indigenismo By Daniel Sacilotto Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Kenneth Reinhard, Co-Chair Professor Efraín Kristal, Co-Chair My dissertation explores the intersection between philosophical and literary universalism in Latin America, tracing its configuration within the 20th Century Peruvian socialist indigenista tradition, following from the work of José Carlos Mariátegui, and elaborated in the literary works of César Vallejo and José María Arguedas. Departing from conventional accounts that interpret indigenismo as part of a regionalist literature seeking to describe and vindicate the rural Indian in particular, I argue that Peruvian indigenista literature formed part of a historical sequence through which urban mestizo intellectuals sought to imagine a future for Peruvian society as a whole. Going beyond the destiny of acculturation imagined by liberal writers, such as Manuel Gonzales Prada, in the late 19th Century, I show how the socialist indigenista tradition imagined a bilateral process of appropriation and mediation between the rural indian and mestizo, integrating pre-Hispanic, as well as Western cultural and economic forms, so as to give shape to a process of alternate modernity apposite to the Andean world. In doing so, indigenista authors interrogated the foundations of European Marxism in light of the distinctiveness of Peruvian society and its history, expressing ever more nuanced figurations of the emancipatory process and the forms of its revolutionary agency.
