Peru's Sendero Luminoso: The Shining Path Beckons

The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 1995, vol. 541, issue 1, 157-166

Abstract: A security threat confronts the West from the world's gray areas—regions where control is shifting to half-political, half-criminal transnational powers, such as Peru's Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path). Sendero Luminoso's vision, organization, and action program provide a new Marxist-Leninist-Maoist model for reforming political actors operating in other gray areas. Until the Sendero Luminoso insurgency is seriously addressed at the strategic level, the causes and consequences of such insurgency will continue to threaten Peru and perhaps other parts of the hemisphere and the world.
