| description | This paper analyzes the political economy factors and actors that may have influenced trade instruments in Peru during the liberalization period of 2001-2015 (which started in 1990 under Fujimori’s administration). The evidence supports the hypothesis that Peruvian trade barriers liberalization in period 2000-2015 was led by the powerful “Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF)”, accompanied by traditional and diversified exporters (that consolidated the unilateral trade liberalization) and by import substitution firms that influenced to some degree, and slowed down the rate of liberalization of unilateral trade barriers. In addition, the unilateral trade liberalization was facilitated by the weak role of the formal labor force and liberal-oriented consumer interest groups. |

Este artículo analiza los factores y actores de la economía política que pueden haber influido en los instrumentos comerciales en Perú durante el período de liberalización de 2001-2015 (que comenzó en 1990 bajo la administración de Fujimori). El análisis y las evidencias respaldan la hipótesis de que la liberalización de las barreras comerciales peruanas en el período 2000-2015 fue liderada por el poderoso MEF, acompañado por exportadores tradicionales y diversificados que consolidaron la liberalización comercial unilateral, y por empresas de sustitución de importaciones que influyeron en cierto grado y redujeron la tasa de velocidad del proceso de liberalización de las barreras comerciales unilaterales. Además, la liberalización unilateral del comercio fue facilitada por el papel débil de la fuerza laboral formal y los grupos de interés del consumidor con orientación liberal.
