This book analyses the institutional development that the Peruvian state has undergone in recent years within a context of rapid extractive industry expansion. It addresses the most important institutional state transformations produced directly by natural resources growth. This includes the construction of a redistributive law with the mining canon; the creation of a research canon for public universities; the development of new institutions for environmental regulation; the legitimation of state involvement in the function of prevention and management of conflicts; and the institutionalization and dissemination of practices of participation and local consultation.

Provides an in-depth analysis about the effects of commodity booms over institutional development and state capacity Explores both the macro and micro dynamics of the resource boom, allowing for a proper evaluation of the ways in which legacies, new actors, and international agendas impact both institutional development and state capacity Undertakes an interdisciplinary approach Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
