Abstract
Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was born together with the Republic in 1821.
Therefore, it will reach 200 years of institutional life in a few months. This commemoration
marked the interest of the authors in carrying out research on the various
guidelines of Peruvian foreign policy and, in turn, evaluate whether they have been
followed successfully in the past two centuries. This research also had to understand
the institutional issue in such a way as to verify if the diplomatic service had been
strengthened as an institution and adapted to the changes and needs over time. Here
are the results.
