Abstract

The article contains a general presentation of the region of Cajamarca and the province of Jaén, as well as a very general description of the origin, the historical development and the general features of the institution known as the ronda campesina. Further on in the text, the material becomes more specific, with a description of the origin and the historical development of the ronda campesina in Jaén, as well as a description of its characteristic features. The central part of the article contains a short description of some of the practical problems that arose inside the ronda campesina in Jaén: at some moment, the ronda suffered the same fate as other political and legal institutions in Peru: a high level of centralization of power ad control, and a process of corruption. The most interesting point in the article is probably the relation of how this problem found a solution.
