This chapter examines the distribution of legislative agenda setting power in Peru. It confirms the conventional view that the president is a key actor in the lawmaking process. It shows that executive bills are more likely to pass than other initiatives, even when the president lacks a majority in Congress, and that presidents frequently enact legislative decrees. The analysis reveals a positive association between the use of legislative decrees and the legislative success of the president, which is consistent with the theory of “delegation.” In this particular context, both legislative paralysis between the executive and congressional players and any political crises as a consequence of the lack of majority of the president have been avoided. The chapter also shows that legislative productivity seems relatively unaffected by the lack of a majority government, and that arguments that claim the necessity of greater presidential powers do not seem applicable to the Peruvian case.
