UGARTE CORNEJO, Manuel Alejandro. STATE MANAGEMENT OF THE SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICT OF “TÍA MARÍA” IN PERU. anal.polit. [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.99, pp.24-40. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v33n99.90935.

This article seeks to understand the state management of one of the most emblematic socio-environmental conflicts in Peru: the “Tía María” conflict. To do this, we asked ourselves how the State’s performance in managing the conflict was, and how it influenced the evolution of the conflict in a country that has more than 8,600 mining environmental liabilities. Among the main findings are: deficiencies in state management capacity; disarticulation and centralism of the government; loss of impartiality; State absent; lack of legal and administrative capacities; loss of capacity to channel demands of the population; loss of technical capacity to evaluate mining projects; poor management of the police force under a criminalization approach to protest.

Keywords : Peru; socio-environmental conflict; mining; environment; state capacities.
