| Summary/Abstract |
Peru is poised for a brighter future. Since Alberto Fujimori's decade-long presidency ended in 2000, politics has become more liberalized, and the press livelier and freer. At the same time, the country has embarked on an important process of decentralization, allowing newly created regional governments a greater role in public policy, thus placing constraints on executive power. The extraction of natural resources, following the economic liberalization policies of the Fujimori era, has contributed to an impressive economic expansion, aided by record-high commodity prices and the growing Chinese demand for raw materials.
