DescriptionThis dissertation explores why volunteers at Peru’s Mesa de Concertación Para la Lucha Contra Pobreza dedicate considerable energy to service when neoliberal policies have diluted its mechanism of direct representation. Hailing from indigenous backgrounds, these volunteers view the Mesa, and associated decentralization reforms, as structural advances supporting their democratic representation. The Mesa’s decline would seem to be the logical consequence of theories positing that direct representation under neoliberal policies constrains activism or depoliticizes the population (Hale 2002). Conversely, my findings show that volunteers use the Mesa’s charter and programming to shape their inclusion in state institutions. To illustrate this, I apply a performative framework to the volunteers’ interactions with public officials orchestrated by the Mesa. This framing highlights the imaginative potential of their interactions for inclusion in a future state, demonstrating that they use neoliberal techniques for starkly different political projects than typically ascribed to neoliberalism.
