HE PURPOSE of this paper is to reflect on the external policies of Peru for the period between 1958 and 1966 in order better to understand the determinants of those policies. The year 1958 was chosen as the beginning of the period to be studied because during that year an unusual event occurred in Peru which had important implications for its foreign relations. Furthermore, by beginning with 1958 parts of two different elected administrations, one period of military control, and a period surrounding a national election could be covered. In this reflection, a series of concepts contributed by other authors will be used in a systematic way. Foreign policy will be understood as a modified version of the definition offered by Modelski in A Theory of Foreign Policy. It is the action of, in this case, Peru to minimize adverse and maximize favorable actions of foreign states and other international actors.? Modelski's concepts of input and output defined respectively as services and resources put at the disposal of policy-makers for foreign policy purposes and the expenditure of in foreign policy operations toward the environment will be utilized.2 His concept of policymakers and his breakdown of the external adjustment process will also be used. The theory of activity and decision-making in Peru developed by James L. Payne in Labor and Politics in Peru4 and in Peru: the Politics of Structured Violence, 5 termed political bargaining, will be used along with Anderson's power contender and power capability concepts. The concept of linkages proposed by Chalmers as the patterned sequences of behavior which originate in other systems and are reacted to in Peru, and vice-versa, is used as the organizing principle of the study.7
