“Peru’s Relations with Pacific Asia: Democracy and Foreign Policy under
Alan García, Alberto Fujimori, and Alejandro Toledo” represents an attempt
to deal with nearly twenty years of Peruvian foreign policy towards a
region which, to national policy makers, at first seemed inaccessible due
to the predicament of its geographical distance. In this study the author
highlights the impact of the political system and of the economic
situation in Peru on the foreign policymaking process towards Pacific
Asia in order to detect the obstacles and chances of Peru’s relationship
with the region.
Stefanie Mann, born in 1968, was a research fellow at the University of
Mainz (Germany) working for over three years on the relationship between
Latin America and Pacific Asia. For this purpose she spent several months
in Latin America, interviewing many well-known persons in the academic,
economic and political arena.
