Peru wasn't a democratic country until 1980 and has been under democratic leadership since (Facts about Peru). The economy is completely two different economies, the Coastal and Andes regions are the two that split. The Coastal regions are the same as any other modern economy and operates as one, however, the Andes are different. Andres area is a more traditional economy that relies on subsistence farming and trade among the residents (Shields 29). "In terms of GDP per capita – a measure of each citizen's share of the wealth generated by the economy- Peru ranked eighth among Latin American countries" (Shields 29).

Conversely, cocaine is a completely illegal product, but it earns almost twice as much money as coffee (Steiner 6).

Peru is rich with minerals, natural resources, and precious metals such as silver, gold, copper, timber, iron ore, coal, potash, phosphate, petroleum, and natural gas. Natural resources have created Peru's infrastructure jump in growth in recent years. Peru has been building roads that go through different types of terrain to include mountains, rainforest and urban areas. Peruvians have updated their railway systems that transport civilians to and from their jobs all throughout the country. Although Peru is wealthy; unfortunately the majority of this income from these natural resources does not make it to the miners and farmers that work long days in order to acquire the resources for global sale.

Corruption will unfortunately continue to be a reality for many communities throughout the region as we transition into the 21st century. The Iguala mass kidnapping was a brutal example of what authorities are willing to do to suppress potential political adversaries (Vice News 2014). If we look to the past, an obvious link can be made to Peru's age of terror, where thousands we killed or disappeared because they were seen as a political threat (Dawson 2011). While Iguala kidnapping was just as terrifying, what is different now is the presence of technology. The advent and proliferation of cell phones and the World Wide Web during the last decade of the 20th century and into the 21st has given the average civilian the power to reach out into

When people think of Peru they don’t imagine in depth about the exploration of Peru and how it was cultivated as the country it is to this very day.

Like many other countries in Latin America and across the globe, Peru is no stranger to the economic and social impacts of illicit drug trade. However, unlike most other countries in the region like Colombia, Peru does not experience a high rate or organized crime or violence surrounding the drug trade.
