Abstract
Waking up from the middle-income country dream: COVID-19 and the human development crisis in Peru
Highlights
Resumen: Este artículo analiza la crisis de desarrollo humano ocasionada en el Perú por la Covid-19 y muestra cómo el caso peruano ilustra de forma clara el desencuentro entre crecimiento económico y bienestar humano
Este conjunto preguntas de investigación llevan al enfoque de desarrollo humano y capacidades a extender sus propias fronteras para profundizar en el estudio del poder y su vinculación con la capacidad del razonamiento público para albergar preocupaciones relacionadas a la erradicación de privaciones en dimensiones básicas del bienestar de las personas. It is common for many textbooks on human development and the capability approach to start with some kind of example in which it is made clear that assessing well-being requires going ‘beyond income’ and that development is ‘more than economic growth’ (Nussbaum, 2012; Deneulin et al 2018; Deneulin, 2014; Alkire and Deneulin, 2009)
Regardless of whether or not one agrees with this approach, the truth is that these ideas are already quite established in the field of development studies and in current international development narratives, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) (United Nations [UN], 2015)
Summary
Resumen: Este artículo analiza la crisis de desarrollo humano ocasionada en el Perú por la Covid-19 y muestra cómo el caso peruano ilustra de forma clara el desencuentro entre crecimiento económico y bienestar humano. The normative discourse that underlies the human development and capability approach seems to have permeated development narratives in Latin America, in many countries in this region, there is still a gap between what is ‘known’ about development and what is ‘done’ about it.
