    Estudiantes peruanos y el autorreconocimiento de su poder público: ¿cuánto influye la educación universitaria?
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2016-03-12) Stojnic Chávez, Lars
    Specialized literature associates attitudes considered important to guarantee democratic legitimacy, such as political participation willingness with citizens’ self-recognition of their potential to influence the public sphere. As well, it emphasizes that increasing formal years of study, particularly higher education, as influential on the development of such attitude, also known as internal  political effectiveness.I propose to analyze the educational mechanisms that could explain this relationship; questioning for the Peruvian context if accumulating years in higher education would be enough to understand it. Through multiple regression models, and using the data of a survey applied to Peruvian students from a private university, this article seeks to identify if having more semesters in university would be an influencing factor on higher levels of internal political efficacy or if the experience in a course aimed at challenging students about their citizenship would be more relevant. The results indicate, for the sample selected, that the latest would have a positive and significant effect on their self-recognition as subjects of power from a democratic perspective; unlike the number of accumulated academic semesters.

    Persistir en el intento: cambios y permanencias en la identidad y rol de las ONG fundacionales en el Perú 1990-2016
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2016-03-12) Bobadilla Díaz, Percy
    This research aims to show the organizational changes and forms of social intervention that have been assumed by NGOs that were founded in Peru between the 60s and 80s. Since 1990 these NGOs have undergone a series of changes, mainly these have been given in the development discourses that guide their projects, in the type of relations that they establish with key actors to execute them and in the way to finance their operation. It will be noted that in the field of international and local development the rules of the game for NGOs are modified: the central State and the business sector acquire a greater presence in the promotion of development projects; There is a greater orientation to the market and selling services based on efficient management; And there is a context of reduction of funds coming from international cooperation agencies. This will generate the emergence of strategic roles as a way to respond to these changes in the institutional environment. It will be noted that, although strategies have been modified and new approaches are used - linked to human development, gender, environment, governance, among others - the meaning of NGOs’ foundational social action remain in force: working with vulnerable and excluded populations.

    Los circuitos políticos: cambios institucionales y nuevos movilizadores de la organización política estudiantil en el Perú
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2016-03-12) Chávez Angeles, Noelia
    Peru does not have an articulated and organized student movement that promote clear agendas to improve the quality of higher education. Still, students compete in elections for seats at their university’s governing bodies. This is the case of the National University of Peruvian Amazon (UNAP), where student’s political groups have increased in recent years without a clear agenda about university development. This article explores this paradox describing the new mobilizers for students’ organizations.Firstly, the findings suggest that university’s governing bodies operate under a clientelistic logic between students and authorities. However, at the same time some students have built a new interest in local and regional politics as a result of the Peruvian decentralization process. Therefore, student organizations are also functioning as political operators and supporters of the regional movements.The “big politics” continue to intervene in “petty politics”, and vice versa, turning the university into a relevant arena and students into key actors to understand subnational politics and the functioning of “democracies without parties”.

    La fragmentación de lo público en la ciudad: organización socioespacial, marco institucional y sociabilidad urbana
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2016-03-12) Rodríguez Cortés, Luisa
    The configuration of cities has invariably impacted the production of public dimension, both in its institutional meaning where the central axis is constituted by the State, as in its relational and spatial aspects. Given this scenario, it is pertinent to question how the public dimension is configured within the framework of today’s cities? This article aims to contribute answering this question by examining three dimensions that are basic in the public dimension of the cities: socio-spatial organization; institutional framework and urban sociability. For this, a theoretical review is made, taking as reference the case of Mexico City, with the aim of shedding light on the processes that mark the limits and contents of what we define as public. As a conclusion, it is argued that the public dimension is highly fragmented, as a result of the way the urban order is structured, the focused and unlinked actions from the governments and the limitations and difficulties for the encounter and dialogue between different.

    El riesgo de ser un dealer: el involucramiento de jóvenes universitarios en el microcomercio de marihuana en Lima Metropolitana
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2016-03-12) Pastor Armas, Alvaro
    The article analyzes the involvement of seven university students in drug dealing in Metropolitan Lima. This qualitative study based its analysis on semi-structured interviews and seven-month fieldwork.The article evidences that the experience as recreational drug users allows them to grasp basic routines related to the market: who, where and how to buy drugs. Based on that previous experience, students get involved in marijuana exchanges because: (i) they want to sell it in order to smoke for free; (ii) they have a good connection with and become a broker for their friends, or (iii) they are interested in generating extra-money to maintain a lifestyle associated with recreational consumption in middle-class university contexts (going to parties, going on trips, buying other drugs, among others).Subsequently, students emphasize their interest in generating monetary incomes and begin to sell marijuana more frequently and in greater quantities. This escalation does not lead to the development of and identity as a ‘drug-dealer’, nor an involvement in other criminal activities.
