Peruvian Foreign Policy in the Modern Era is a chronological treatment of Peruvian foreign policy from 1990 to the present. It focuses on the impact of domestic politics, economic interests, security concerns, and alliance diplomacy on contemporary Peruvian foreign policy.
In common with other Latin American states, sovereignty, territorial integrity, regionalism, continental solidarity, and economic independence were core goals of Peruvian foreign policy after independence. In modern times, successive Peruvian governments have continued to address these and related issues in a foreign policy grounded in pragmatism and notable for its emphasis on a rational combination of continuity and change. The Fujimori administration (1990–2000) set the stage for this shift in the direction, tone, and content of the nation’s foreign policy with successor administrations refining and building upon the initiatives launched by Fujimori.
“For much of the new century, and despite its sometimes chaotic politics, Peru has been among the fastest-growing and best performing economies in Latin America. In this book, based on extensive interviews with the country's top leaders, Ronald Bruce St John provides a concise but thorough overview of Peruvian foreign policy in the recent past—one of the sources of this remarkable performance. An important book for anyone interested in Peru's international relations, the country that gave us the Pacific Alliance" — Jorge Heine, Research Professor, Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University.
