Abstract

According to the EJAtlas, of 97 environmental conflicts in Peru, 20 are deemed as successes, generally meaning « stopped projects ». Violence in Peruvian environmental conflicts is much higher than the average in the EJAtlas. However, not all investment projects in the extractive industries or infrastructure are conflictive. We discuss the sources of information on investment projects and on those which are conflictive, to give a stronger background to our findings.
