Desarrollo, pobreza-exclusión social y Manejo de espacios socio ambientales en el mundo rural: EL caso del área Andina de Perú/Development, poverty, social exclusion and social management of the rural environment: the case of the Andean region of Peru

Abstract

This doctoral thesis tries to understand the existing relationship between poverty and the management of the social environment and explores the characteristics and conditions of poverty of the Andean rural population towards the end of the 20th century, focusing on the problem of social exclusion, in particular of women. To this end, a socio spatial vision is proposed for analysing poverty in rural areas. The empirical reference area is located in the Central South of Peru, South America, and these areas were the scenario of structural violence and were almost ravaged by the war initiated by the Sendero Luminoso in the 1980s and 1990s of the last century. Poverty, a characteristic feature of the majority of the rural population in the Andean region, appears when rights and capacities are insufficient to live. We call for the rights, social recognition of people in general and women in particular, to have access to property, income, public goods, natural resources in sufficient quantity and quality. These rights are acquired through public (public, community, market) and private (family) institutional systems. The extension of rights means that people can have easier access to resources. It is essential to add the concept of power to the centre of the scheme, thus making it possible to expand capacity. That is to say, the development and expansion of people’s capacities is carried out in society and not individually. The development of what is local requires the construction of more societies. The social construction of space stems from long-lasting processes, in which social subjects develop or do not develop their capacities at stake by endogenous and exogenous interrelations of power, in the context of models and styles for the development of the State. Internally, the central element of power relations is marked by the interests of ownership, access, use and control of environmental resources, where the exclusion of women in decision-making and power spaces is a historic sign. The way for legal rights to become rights in rem is a long-standing process of social construction. The POWER enables them to operate their rights and to act in a concerted manner in order to put into motion the gears of their own development: Austries-Droits-Capacities.
