Interaction between the state, local governance and NGOs in Peru

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)

This thesis will be divided into three chapters. Chapter one will describe the main concepts concerned with the relationships between the state and NGOs and between local governance and NGOs, as well as the roles NGOs play in these relationships. Furthermore, it will also explain how these relationships differ between the developed and developing regions of the world, which will be referred to as – ‘the North’ – and – ‘the South’ – respectively. Chapter two historically analyse the state-NGO in the context of Peru from 1985 to 2000. Emphasis will be placed on the different impacts NGOs had as well as the roles and regulations they took on with the state. This chapter will make use of a comparative analysis of Peru’s leadership under first the democratic leader, García (1985-1990), and second the authoritarian leader, Fujimori (1990-2000). Chapter three will be centred on a case study of the NGO Tierra de niños.

Chapter three will be centred on a case study of the NGO Tierra de niños. This chapter will aim to discover this NGO’s 4 function in practice, by analysing its relationships with the state and the municipality in Nuevo Pachacutec. The goal here is to consider how a NGO contributes to the provision of social services to the poor, and what the result of this is on their livelihoods.Show less
