Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , Más allá del castigo. El rol de la mediación restaurativa en el derecho juvenil peruano(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Facultad de Derecho, 2026-07) Ugaz Heudebert, CamilaLa justicia restaurativa —o enfoque restaurativo—, a diferencia de la retributiva o puramente rehabilitadora, involucra a víctimas, ofensores y comunidad. Ella promueve la participación activa de los involucrados en el conflicto y procura la reparación emocional, material o simbólica del daño, así como el restablecimiento de las relaciones humanas y sociales afectadas. En este sentido, una ver- dadera justicia juvenil restaurativa debe basarse en tres dimensiones fundamentales: (i) responsabilización, (ii) reparación y (iii) reintegración. Para lograr la presencia efectiva de estas en el tratamiento de adolescentes en conflicto con la ley penal, se plantea incluir la mediación restaurativa como requisito indispensable para acceder a las salidas alternas de remisión y acuerdo reparatorio reguladas en el Código de Responsabilidad Penal de Adolescentes. De esta forma se lograrán tanto la responsabilización del adolescente como la reparación a todos los involucrados en el conflicto, lo cual, a su vez, coadyuvará a la reintegración de las partes en sus respectivas comunidades y a la disminución de los índices de reincidencia.Item type:Item, Access status: Open Access , FinTech Adoption and Bank Credit Risk: Evidence of a Nonlinear Relationship from Latin America(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Departamento de Economía, 2026-08) Bendezú, LuisWe examine how FinTech adoption affects credit risk in a panel of commercial banks from Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru over 2010–2024, covering more than 90 percent of bank lending in each country. Because structured technology-expenditure data do not exist for these banking systems, we construct cumulative dictionary-based digitalization indices from a raw corpus of 785 annual-report PDFs across six technological dimensions. Panel estimates with Driscoll–Kraay inference document an inverted-U relationship between cumulative digitalization and nonperforming loans: early adoption raises NPLs as lending expands towards borrowers without credit histories, while beyond a threshold efficiency gains in screening dominate and credit risk declines. The pattern is specific to the IT-infrastructure dimension of adoption; it survives various robustness exercises. A Cournot framework with two borrower segments organises the opposing inclusion and efficiency channels that motivate the quadratic specification. The turning point falls with bank size, and slopes differ across countries, so the pooled estimates are averages over heterogeneous national markets. With 82% of observations below the threshold, these banking systems remain largely in the phase where digital adoption is associated with rising credit risk.Item type:Item, Access status: Metadata only , Innovations de transports et mobilité dans les villes des Suds, source d'inspiration pour les Nords. Rapport Amérique Latine(Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, 2025-01-01) Jérémy Robert; Institut Français; Université Rennes 2; Institut de Recherche pour le Développement; Université de Rennes; Pontificia Universidad Católica del PerúFaire face aux enjeux de la transition écologique et sociale des transports et de la mobilité impose de penser des changements plus ou moins radicaux dans la façon de planifier et d'habiter les territoires, de gérer l'offre de transports et d'organiser les mobilités. Dans la continuité de la réflexion engagée par le Forum Vies Mobiles dans sa rubrique « Carnet des Suds » , cette étude propose d'explorer dans quelle mesure les expériences dans les Suds peuvent être source d'inspiration dans les Nords, en particulier dans le contexte français. Elle s'intéresse aux innovations en termes d'offre de transport et de mobilité ; d'urbanisme ; et de participation citoyenne et d'inclusion. Cinq études de cas sont développées et montrent l'inventivité des solutions mises en œuvre en Amérique Latine pour faire face à des difficultés structurelles dans un contexte de ressources limitées.Item type:Item, Access status: Metadata only , Beyond the Presidency: The Power of Congress in Latin America(GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, 2026-01-01) Maríana Llanos; Milagros Campos; Magna Inácio; German Institute for Global and Area Studies; Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú; Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisDespite times of democratic backsliding, executive power is not on the rise everywhere. Across Latin America, congresses have been reshaping how presidentialism operates, often utilising significant decision-making authority. Yet these dynamics vary, resulting in diverse legislative trajectories and balances of power across countries. Despite low public trust and high party fragmentation, several legislatures have pursued institutional change by reshaping their own structures, revising rules to rebalance power vis-à-vis the executive, or attempting revisions but ultimately retreating in the face of presidential power. On 12 April Peruvians elect a president and a new Congress amid pronounced presidential instability. The legislature has reasserted itself by passing an important reform reintroducing bicameralism - a shift intended to increase stability and reduce fragmentation, but which may create new problems. In October, Brazil will carry out presidential and congressional elections. The incoming president will find a Congress grown more resolute over recent years - particularly in budgetary matters. This institutional change reflects increasing executive-legislative competition and a shift towards more power-sharing. In October 2023 Argentine voters elected Javier Milei, a political outsider with a radical economic reform agenda but meagre congressional support. Early signs of legislative pushback, including rule-change attempts, faded after 2025 midterm success strengthened presidential leverage over Congress.Item type:Item, Access status: Metadata only , The Urban Learning Premium - Evidence from Peru(RELX Group (Netherlands), 2025-01-01) Sonja Fagernäs; Panu Pelkonen; Juan del Pozo Segura; University of Sussex; Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú
