Javier Arellano
Javier enjoys an interdisciplinary academic background with degrees in development studies, agronomy, and philosophy and religion studies. He has over 15 years’ experience of development work with both overseas and Spanish based NGOs. After that period of practical work, in 2006 he decided to take time out to study the MA in Governance and Development at IDS. The experience at IDS has encouraged him to start his Dphil research. Currently he is looking at the interaction of local governments, mining companies and social movements at the local level in the Peruvian context. His aim is to explain variations in patterns of conflict and cooperation among these actors in different regions of the country.
