Peru is undergoing one of the most volatile political periods in its democratic history. President Dina Boluarte’s deeply unpopular administration faces compounding crises, from institutional paralysis to rising insecurity, that are testing the strength of Peru’s democratic foundations.

Despite this turmoil, Peru’s economy is outperforming the region. Aided by high commodity prices and the world’s second-largest copper reserves, the country remains a key player in global supply chains.

Now, Peru sits at the center of concerns over China’s growing presence in Latin America. The $3.5 billion Chancay megaport—Beijing’s most ambitious infrastructure project in the region—threatens to reshape South American trade flows and could give China new levers of political influence. 

Join Hudson Adjunct Fellow Daniel Batlle and a panel of leading analysts as they examine what lies ahead for Peru and whether the country can convert its economic potential into lasting security and sovereignty ahead of its 2026 elections.
