Non alignment, third worldism and safety in Peru: the foreign policy of the government of Juan Velasco Alvarado (1968-1980)

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is, on the one hand, to verify that the entry of Peru to the Non-Aligned Movement meant the emergence of a new paradigm in foreign policy not only in that country but in Latin America as a whole; on the other hand, to establish that behind the new policy existed an ideological discourse (appropriated and reworked), the third worldism, which provided a solid base to government targets.
