Abstract
In 2007, Peru’s then-president Alan García made publicly known his vision of national development. His now infamous columns, published under the banner of “The Dog-in-the-Manger Syndrome” in a major national newspaper, argued that unimpeded capitalist expansion would be the key to transforming Peru into a modern nation. But a major obstacle remained. For the president, rural indigenous communities were guilty of foreclosing large-scale capital investment in timber and hydrocarbon extraction. By defending collective land rights, this “dog-in-the-manger” undermined Peruvian entrepreneurs and businessmen in “their ability to obtain investments, look for markets, and to create work.”1
Earlier versions of this chapter were presented at the 2009 Latin American Studies Association Meeting in Rio de Janeiro and the 2011 American Political Science Association Annual Meeting in Seattle. We are grateful to Paulo Drinot, Evelyne Huber, and Hillel Soifer for their helpful comments on the argument developed here.
