By their fruits ye shall know them. They look without seeing, and hearing they hear or understand. A state representative tyrant

The Government has to be firm. People understand their requests when they seat at a table in a civilized manner, but unfortunately it does not happen when the lack of knowledge is manipulated by a few agitators.

Mining might improve things for Peru, but only if the benefits are shared around. And what good is development if your people have their water poisoned as well. What is happening in Cajamarca is the result of rapid economic growth that will benefit the campesinos little.

I don't know... No first world country has ever grown thanks to foreign investment. On the contrary, most countries where foregin countries have come to to take advantage of mining or similar.. are poor now :( A country can have a rapid economic growth even with few resources. e.g. Japan, going from a feudal and almost medieval society to a modern one in just a few decades. The thing is.. what's the root difference between these countries and our own?

Mining is a good thing but it needs some control. Common people have trouble seeing the good when it is disruptive to their lives and affects their cultural. Working together we can over come these problems.
