Abstract
After its return to democracy in 1980, Peru suffered from a brutal internal conflict, which wound down in the 1990s. Since the collapse of the Fujimori regime in 2000, democracy has stabilized and the economy is thriving. Today, Peru today appears comparably peaceful and prosperous. However, Peru has experienced a resurgence of violence by two surviving factions of Sendero. This article builds upon the insights from historical research on Sendero Luminoso and uses a sub-national, negative binomial regression analysis to engage the cross-national research on the causes of contemporary violence. This analysis utilizes disaggregated measures of primary resources, poverty, coca cultivation, geography, and government spending to uncover drivers of Sendero violence from 2001–2010.
