During the Peruvian Internal Armed Conflict, the most relevant insurgent actor, the Communist Party of Peru Sendero Luminoso, achieved its deepest and most prolonged consolidation in the Alto Huallaga region. However, 20 years after the conflict, it is still not known what factors allowed the organization to establish governance structures in the area, or what the nature of these structures was. The case of the province of Tocache shows that there is a variation between those forms of governance that were created: while in the countryside the control was much deeper, governing aspects of the private life of civilians; in urban areas the rules imposed were limited to the provision of security and the collection of taxes. Our research proposes that this variation is due to the convergence of three variables. First, the absence of legitimate state institutions in both areas; on the contrary, it is found that there were strong social institutions in urban areas that prevented a total control of daily life; finally, it is found that the coca value chain generates greater economic benefits in urban areas, promoting indiscipline within the insurgent organization, and therefore, flexibility in the rules that are enforced. In this way, this work highlights the relevance of the interaction of institutional factors and the natural resources available to determine the depth in the consolidation of insurgent actors in scenarios of armed conflict.
