The Law of the Land? Documenting Indigenous Landrights in Peru

Apurimac is a region in the South of Peru, and it is one of the poorest regions of the country. The majority of its 485.000 inhabitants depend on small-scale farming. Therefore landrights are a crucial issue for the people of Apurimac. Jean-Jacques Decoster and his colleagues in Peru have been working on the documentation of indigenous landrights in Apurimac for more than 10 years. A project supported by the Commission for Development Studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (KEF) enabled the project team to conclude this project with a series of workshops and the publication of the documentation in two volumes.

Discussion moderated by Prof. Gerhard Drekonja (University of Vienna).
Panelists: Prof. Rene Kuppe, Dr. Ulrike Bechthold, Dr. Jean-Jacques Decoster
