Social conflict and governance: A model for analysis and management

This research aims to identify the categories that influenced investment governance using the framework of a statistical model. Cultural diversity and environmental concerns are still considered obstacles to investment in developing countries. In recent years, Peru's social and environmental conflicts have become recurring events in the context of economic growth and effective macroeconomic policies. During social conflicts, generally one of the parties involved has greater bargaining power and greater access to information and economic resources. A human rights approach is crucial to achieve sustainable governance and, therefore, to reduce the negative impact of specific development policies and projects on disadvantaged populations. This research finds that it is essential to prioritize the following variables: (1) production chains, (2) culture, (3) organizational structure, (4) environmental care education, and (5) symmetric information, to achieve good governance that guarantees effective investments that overcome undesirable social and environmental impacts.
