History

The IEP was founded on 7 February 1964 by a group of Peruvian and international intellectuals that primarily focused on societal issues in Peru with their first publication, Perú Problema.[3] By 1970, the IEP was the host for the 39th International Congress of Americanists.[3] During the 1970s, the institute began expanding its research into Peru's history, focusing on indigenous plurality and the effects of Spanish colonization.[3] In the 1980s and 1990s, the IEP focused on the internal conflict in Peru and political crises occurring at the time.[3]

Into the twenty first century, the IEP began studying the decentralization of Peru and began to advocate for greater equity in the nation.[3]
