PERU Alan Angell, Peruvian Labour and the Military Govern- ment Since 1968 (London: University of London, In- stitute of Latin American Studies, 1980). Free, paper, 38 pgs. Short but useful overview of organized labor in Peru which is handy in an almost definitional sense, naming the major actors in the labor movement. Analytically it tends to raise more questions than it answers, which is to be expected in such a short work.

David Chaplin, The Peruvian Industrial Labor Force (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1967). $20 cloth, 324 pgs. Survey research on the development of an industrial labor force in Peru based on inter- views with nearly 4000 textile workers. Its overall analysis is disappointing, but the data, and some "vignettes" of a number of mills, are very useful. (Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ 08540.)

Pedro-Pablo Kuczynski, Peruvian Democracy Under Economic Stress: An Account of the Belaunde Administration, 1963-1968 (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1977). $21 cloth, 308 pgs. Returning to Kuczynski's account of the first Beladnde administration is par- ticularly interesting now. Kuczynski, who headed Halco Mining Alcoa and was economic adviser and manager of the Central Reserve Bank under the first administration, is currently Belaltnde's Minister of Energy and Mines, a key post in a country where oil and copper are so critical to the economy. His book is an "insider" account of the rise and fall of Bela~nde's first government. (Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ 08540.) Abraham F.

Special issue devoted to Peru containing a number of excellent articles on the ideology of Aprismo (Villanueva), the mining industry (Dore), manufacturing (Weeks) and an overview of the Peruvian "bourgeois revolution" (Bollinger).

Philip, The Rise and Fall of the Peruvian Military Radicals, 1968-1976 (London: The Athlone Press, University of London, 1978). $25.75 cloth, 178 pgs. Philip seeks to explain the rise of the Peruvian military radicals and what he sees as their demise after 1973. Although the work is disjointed chronologically and overpriced, it does provide some important insights to the military government, par- ticularly in terms of its members and their backgrounds.

Steve Stein, Populism in Peru: The Emergence of the Masses and the Politics of Social Control (Madison: Univer- sity of Wisconsin Press, 1980). $21 50 cloth, 296 pgs Excellent and well-written study which concentrates on two competing populist movements in the 1930s: that of Victor Haya de la Torre and Sanchez Cerro. Stein argues in a very cogent manner that populism functioned as a block to true social change, finally converting the potential for working class revolt into support for an established system in crisis This well- researched study provides .both sharp analysis and good reading.

Alfred Stepan, The State and Society: Peru in Com- parative Perspective (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1978). $20 cloth; $4.95 paper, 348 pgs. Stepan critiques both pluralist and Marxist approaches to the role of the state, and finds more satisfaction in what he calls an "organic-statist" approach, in which the state is given a central role in the polity. Much of the analysis of the Peruvian state is an attempt to refine this organic-statist model, which is closer to tradi- tional "corporatist" models.

Johansen, in a search for the establishment of a "humane world community, counterposes U.S. foreign policy against the framework of four major "global values:" peace. economic well-being, social justice and ecology He tests the values expressed in official rhetoric and ac- tual behavior in four case studies: the SALT talks. foreign aid to India, human rights in Chile and U.S. policy for international control of marine pollution. In each case he finds that U.S. policy failed miserably to further global human interests. (Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ 08540.) Jack L. Nelson and Vera M. Green, eds .
