Abstract
It is reasonable to question whether Peru has an industrial relations (IR) system in the traditional sense.1 Whereas most formal IR analysis follows from the existence of an empirically identifiable and relatively homogeneous pattern of collective bargaining, no such pattern may be found in Peru. Instead, there exists a fragmented, uncodified, often marginally important complex of bargaining traditions, ranging from the classically paternalistic to the ‘advanced’ job-regulatory. Its marginal importance may be argued to be the case on the grounds that perhaps only 30 per cent of the economically-active population are affected by something akin to formal wage bargaining, reflecting the dualism which divides the one-third of the population in the ‘modern’ sector from the two-thirds in the marginal or relatively-unintegrated rural contexts. Yet despite the limited numbers formally integrated into wage bargaining, and despite the relative incoherence of Peru’s IR tradition, the political consequences of bargaining have been profound, particularly from the 1960s onwards. Interpreted in a variety of ways, the politics of industrial relations have reflected the complex relationship between industrialisation, proletarianisation, state formation and integration into the world economy.
