Abstract

Abstract This article explores the relationship and correlation between climate and conflict in the contemporary Peruvian Andes before, during, and in the aftermath of the most recent civil conflict (1980-2000). Based on the combination of climatological data related to the 1982-1983 El Niño, personal testimonies, and other source documents, the following pages unpack the ecological meaning of the campesino condition as a foundational element preceding the conflict, as the pivotal object and subject of escalating social violence, and as the chief outcome of insurrectionary and counter-insurrectionary terror.
