​The context of a medium-importance financial crisis-such as the 1914 one, at the beginning of the Great War, that would present a series of problems new to Peru, has given us the opportunity to probe into the practices and idiosyncrasies of the political members of the Peruvian State of that time. By analyzing the Journal of Parliamentary Debates -a source for historical research still little used- we have been able to conretely examine the process of adoption of economic and financial policies, and the conflicts inherent to it, in the context of the beginning of the first world war. By observing the relationships between the Political Power and the Civil Society we have been able to verify some constants about the way policy decisions are taken. That is, we have been able to analyze, in terms of a recent past, some of the evolucions of the contemporary peruvian political system, whic...

The aim of this article is to recall the need for historical research on haciendas and the rural world in Central Andean America, which has been neglected int the last decades. At the same time, however, it review the questions that need to be addressed in order to go beyond the generalisations or conceptualisations that were made, especially during the second half of the 20th century. This historiographical approach try to concentrate on three main issues: firstly, the origins and formation of the Andean hacienda; secondly, the problem of work and remuneration in the rural world; thirdly, the form of possession represented by haciendas and latifundios and their evolution, in the face of the disentailment and the end of ecclesiastical and civil mortmain of the 19th century, before the agrarian reforms of the 20th century.

El contexto de una crisis financiera de mediana importancia (la de 1914, al inicio de la gran guerra), cuya administración habría de exigir, empero, el enfrentamiento de los problemas nuevos en el Perú, nos ha ofrecido la oportunidad de efectuar una incursión al interior de las prácticas y mentalidades del personal político del Estado peruano del entonces. Gracias a la utilización de los Diarios de Debates Parlamentarios, fuente para el trabajo histórico que no ha sido aún suficientemente frecuentada, hemos podido aproximarnos un poco más concretamente al proceso mismo de adopción de la política económico-financiera, y a sus conflictos respectivos, en la coyuntura del comienzo de la guerra mundial. Observando las relaciones entre el Poder Político y la Sociedad Civil peruanos, a comienzos del siglo XX, hemos podido constatar simultáneamente ciertas permanencias respecto a ...

La Serie “Cuadernos de Investigación“ del Centro de Investigación de la Universidad del Pacífico no es obra de un solo autor: 15 profesores y economistas vinculados a nuestra universidad han colaborado en su preparación, a través de mesas redondas de discusión y contribuciones finales escritas. El presente documento es un conjunto de análisis y de propuestas de política económica, sobre varios puntos fundamentales de la realidad económica actual que es urgente cambiar. No se pretende elaborar un conjunto preciso, completo y coherente de medidas, pero sí analizar los principales problemas de la economía peruana y plantear vías concretas de solución.
