    Highland empires, lowland politics : the Central Peruvian Coast and its relation to Pan-Andean empires
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010) Marcone F, Giancarlo
    To what extent do our interpretations of the Andean past recognize geographical differences between the coast and the highlands? Does recognizing these differences lead us to alternate interpretations of political processes? In this article, I respond to these questions by analyzing the relationships between "highland empires" and local coastal societies. Is it possible to explain the differences between the distinct strategies that empires established with different local societies using: ( 1) models that explain this variation according to the level of local "political complexity" encountered by the empires or (2) models that explain this variation as a function of variations in geography and adaptation, and their effect on local economies? Using the Lurín Valley on the central Peruvian coast as an example, I discuss how these explanations are insufficient to explain the variations in local-imperial social relations . As an alternative, I suggest that these relations should be understood as a function of the political cycles of both societies.
