The Institute of Peruvian Studies (IEP) (Spanish: Instituto de Estudios Peruanos) is a social science and public policy think tank that focuses on topics in Peru and Latin America.[1] The institute has a mission of promoting methods of combatting economic inequality, strengthening democracy, embracing cultural diversity and establishing sustainable development in Peru.[2]
History[edit]
The IEP was founded on 7 February 1964 by a group of Peruvian and international intellectuals that primarily focused on societal issues in Peru with their first publication, Perú Problema.[3] One of the co-founders was John Victor Murra, an expert on the Inca Empire.[4] In 1966, anthropologist Julio Cotler was able to return to Peru from an exile enforced by the government of Juan Velasco Alvarado and began research for the IEP, focusing on mass society controlled by the Peruvian elite.[5][6]
By 1970, the IEP was the host for the 39th International Congress of Americanists.[3] During the 1970s, the institute began expanding its research into Peru's history, focusing on indigenous plurality and the effects of Spanish colonization.[3] At this time, the IEP collaborated with a ten-year study of William Foote Whyte of Cornell University researching rural communities in Peru, hosting American researchers at its headquarters.[7][8]
In the 1980s and 1990s, the IEP focused on the internal conflict in Peru and political crises occurring at the time.[3] Into the twenty first century, the IEP began studying the decentralization of Peru and began to advocate for greater equity in the nation.[3] In 2014, the IEP partnered with Kyoto University to release a publication studying leftist governments in Andean nations.[9] The IEP also organizes public opinion polls that are published in La República.[10]
Reception[edit]
The International Development Research Centre described the IEP as "a credible public policy institution in Peru" that can "provide high-quality, influential, and policy-relevant research" when it funded the institute with $2,852,657.00 CAD through its Think Tank Initiative over a five-year period from 2014 to 2019.[11] British anthropologist Olivia Harris described the institute as "prestigious".[4] In a 2019 Semana Económica and Ipsos Peru Encuesta del Poder 2019 poll, IEP was ranked as the think tank with the most impact in public policy in Peru.[12]
