He contends that an examination of the Peruvian case reveals that although conditions would appear not to favor its reemergence, a form of populism can actually coexist with market-oriented state reform. In addition, he contends that Fujipopulism is a political and economic tactic that is carefully organized from above and that is developed to keep the backing of the popular sectors while, at the same time, promoting the economic agenda of elites whose fortunes are connected with economic liberalization. The writer concludes that Fujimori's popularity is based on a link between the image of political outsider—an image that Fujimori skilfully promotes through the media—and the historically excluded urban and rural popular sectors. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
