Abstract

Recent experience from Peru shows how standard remedies for mitigating the resource curse can backfire when they take insufficient account of local context and political dynamics. This paper discusses how, given the particular local context and political dynamics operating in Peru, the problems of the resource curse have in part been relocated to subnational levels.
