Corrupción como problema de acción colectiva: Hacia un enfoque más ajustado para pensar la reforma institucional en América Latina
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2018) Philipps Zeballos, Andy
I understand, as Kafka does, that the situation of the bureaucracy of the early twentieth century in Europe in 'The trial’, that corruption has as one of its roots the lack of a sense of community. In this article I propose to overcome the rational choice approach. That way I can combine it with one (that) can understand corruption as collective action. That is why I reflect on the next four key questions to understand this approach: A) what is a collective action problem? this detaches that high levels of trust are significantly related with lower levels of corruption. B) When can we talk about societies where corruption is more the norm than an exception? this deduces that confidence is at stake, specially, in institutions. And c) in which degree the environment determines human behavior in relation with social psychology? Thus, this new paradigm addresses institutions of public administration in the middle of anti-corruption policies and provides us of clues about what characteristics are the ones that matter enough to get more confidence, more cooperation and, finally, less corruption in a state.

Movimientos indígenas amazónicos y acción colectiva en conflictos socioambientales: los casos de la reserva comunal Amarakaeri y la cuenca del Río Curaray
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2013) Gamboa Balbín, Aída Mercedes
Through the cases of ‘La Reserva ComunalAmarakaeri’ and ‘La Cuenca del Río Curaray’ we argue that the success of indigenous collective action in environmental conflicts generated by the superposition of hydrocarbon blocks on titled indigenous lands and protected areas is defined by1) a regional system more open to the indigenous movement that allows alliances within the regional elite, 2) organizational forms providing specific strategies that integrate dialogue practices and a broad network of partners cohesive to targets, 3) the use of an ideological discourse that uses collective rights and demands for inclusion in order to generate union within the collective and the sensibilization of the authorities. On the other hand, failure is caused by 1) the absence of alliances in the regional elite and the presence of repressive authorities, 2) weak complex organizational forms that use ineffective strategies and models of mobilization without dialogue, 3) a discourse that does not integrates the collective rights with demands for equality, creating fragmentation in the organization and a fragile impact on the authorities.

Los límites de la articulación de los movimientos antimineros en el Perú
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2013) Ruiz, Gabriela; Vela Cáceres, Estelí; Mercado Cordova, Lucía; Cruz Sarmiento, Marylia; Sosa Villagarcia, Paolo; Pérez Pinillos, Jeniffer
The present article discusses the enviromental conflicts related to the mining during the recent past years, with the purpose of identify the limits and the difficulties that have been present in the articulation of a national anti-mining social movement in Peru. The questioning about the reach of the anti-mining movement arises from the constants outbreaks of conflicts that are determinate by local dynamics. The confrontation between the mining company and peasant´s communities has been occurring in different areas of the country, and that is why the analysis focuses in the cases of the ‘Aymarazo’ in Puno, Conga in Cajamarca, and the contrast of informal mining in Madre de Dios. The analysis of the cognitive frameworks, the structure of organization, the window of opportunities, allow this work to recognize the character of the anti-mining mobilizations that occurs in every conflict.
