"A scholar of international law with extensive diplomatic experience, Germán Vera brings tremendous knowledge and insight to the analysis of Peru’s foreign policy in the twenty-first century. He expertly illuminates Peru’s four key foreign-policy priorities--the regional defense of democracy, the global “war on drugs”, climate change, and migration--and advances valuable recommendations for the future. Dr Vera is an extraordinarily thoughtful foreign-policy expert. His book is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of Peru’s role in the global arena on the most urgent challenges of the twenty-first century".
