Abstract

SALDIVAR, Rosa María Luisa Cueto  and  ZAMBRANO, Henry Raul Guillén. Political psychology of conflict: intergroup relations, social exclusion and unconventional political participation in Peru. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.28, pp.471-487. ISSN 1519-549X.

The aim of this article is to analyze intergroup relations nature in Peru and from this reflection set some points to consider regarding the roots of exclusion and social conflict, given by hierarchical relationships between different groups that some exploratory studies have been revealing in recent years (Espinosa, 2006; Bucksport & Espinosa, 2009; Espinosa, Cueto & Schmitz, 2012; Espinosa & Cueto, 2014). Furthermore, it presents how unconventional mechanisms of political participation are being legitimized by social excluded groups, due to the lack of legitimacy that the state is perceived and formal participation tools (Cordova, 2013). Finally, the major psychosocial sequelae of Internal Armed Conflict (IAC) are reviewed (Guillén, 2013) and their relation with socio-environmental conflicts today, as well as new forms of intergroup conflict evidenced through social networks, especially in electoral contexts (Guevara, 2012).

Keywords : Intergroup relations; Social exclusion; Social conflict; Political participation.
