The comparative literature on executive-legislative relations maintains that these are conflictive and marked by the strength of the executive in the face of a commonly weak legislature. Furthermore, existing studies focus almost exclusively on the national level. Given the growing importance of subnational politics in Latin American countries, there is a need to better understand these dynamics at the subnational level. The main objective of this thesis is to describe the functioning of the relations between the executive and the legislature in the subnational arena in Peru. To do this, this thesis studies the relationship between the regional councilors and the regional governor in Cusco in the period from 2019 to 2022. This management was led by the former regional governor Jean Paul Benavente García of the Popular Action party (AP) in front of a highly fragmented council. Contrary to the theoretical expectation derived from the literature for the national level, the thesis argues that in reality during Benavente's administration there was not a conflictive relationship between the two powers, but rather a cooperative one. The research findings show that this nature of the relationship stems particularly from the use of clientelistic strategies by the former regional governor. In this sense, the regional council analyzed exercised minimal opposition and limited control and oversight over Benavente. The thesis uses the department of Cusco in the period 2019-2022 as a case study employing qualitative analysis, process tracing, semi-structured interviews and secondary data and newspaper articles.
