The present thesis investigates the spatial diffusion of terrorist attacks in Peru during three temporalities: the peak of violence (1980-2000), its decline (2000-2021), and the entire period (1980-2021). To study the relationships between the occurrence of terrorist attacks and geographic features, three grid-cell level datasets are constructed with which Moran’s I tests and different spatial (spatial error and spatial autoregressive) and non-spatial (linear and negative binomial) models were applied. The findings reveal that spatial autocorrelation of attacks is more pronounced during the decline period. Moreover, the effects of certain spatial variables on the number of terrorist attacks vary across time periods and models, sometimes even reversing their impact.

In Peru, the ratification of “The Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)” that takes place in the beginnings of the 80’s is part of a transition process not only in the political front, but also between two generations of women activists.

Prestigious group of professionals linked to “Consejo Nacional de Mujeres”, founded in 1923, such as Sara Pérez Palacio, or Olga Paredes Lañas de De Olarte, just to name a few. This is the generation of women called to give a positive outlook towards the ratification of CEDAW -among which...
