Abstract
Analysis of the Fujimori phenomenon as a case of charismatic governability rather than conventional authoritarianism. T h e article shows how, in a context of generalized crisis and deterioration of the party system, voters a n d public opinion moved away from traditional parties and began to identify themselves with independent candidates and leaders. Fujimori emerged in 1990 as a political alternative because the deterioration of the parties and his charismatic ability among the poor opened up a space for him which he progressively gained. He subsequently gained ground among the middle and upper classes by presenting himself as an alternative for governability, through the 1992 presidential coup. These trends were confirmed in the 1995 elections. People became more and more identified with Fujimori and the independents during the period 1990-1995, despite s o m e differences by social class.
