Visions of Andean integration: indigeneity, social policy, and Andean citizenship

Research 

My research focuses on the politics of Andean integration within the Comunidad Andina. In particular, I seek to understand how ideas on indigeneity, social policy, and Andean citizenship were mobilised as part of the contest between alternative visions of Andean integration, and to what effects on the institutional evolution of the Comunidad Andina. To this end, I analyse the debates that took place within this regional organisation between 2007 and 2013, when a new network of policymakers, academics, and indigenous intellectuals and activists was formed and participated in the promotion of the paradigm of Integración Integral.
