Research Interests
Professor
Andrien specializes in Colonial Latin American history,
focusing specifically on the Andean region from the 16th
to the 19th centuries. Most recently his focus has
broadened to place the history of colonial Latin America
within the context of the early modern Atlantic World.
He has written Crisis and Decline: The Viceroyalty of
Peru in the Seventeenth Century (1985) (with a
Spanish translation published in Peru in 2011), The
Kingdom of Quito, 1690-1830: The State and Regional
Development (1996), and his most recent book is
Andean Worlds: Indigenous History, Culture, and
Consciousness Under Spanish Rule, 1532-1825 (2001).
He has co-edited (with Rolena Adorno) Transatlantic
Encounters: Europeans and Andeans in the Sixteenth
Century (1991) and (with Lyman L. Johnson) The
Political Economy of Spanish America in the Age of
Revolution, 1750-1850 (1994). He is also the editor
of The Human Tradition in Colonial Latin America
(2002). In addition, he has published numerous articles
in journals such as Past and Present, Hispanic
American Historical Review, Colonial Latin American
Review, and Journal of Latin American Studies.
Andrien recently finished a book-length research project
(in collaboration with Allan J. Kuethe of Texas Tech
University) which examines the intersection of ideas,
culture, and public policy in the eighteenth-century
Spanish Empire, entitled War and Reform in the
Spanish Atlantic World, 1714-1796.
Work in Progress
Crown and Clergy in Bourbon Peru:
Regalism and Reform of the Catholic Church, 1708-1808.
This is an archivally based
book project that examines the influence of the
Enlightenment and the emerging conflicts within the
Catholic Church and between Church and State in the
Spanish Atlantic Empire, focusing on the Viceroyalty of
Peru. It examines the first major reform policies
dealing with the Catholic Church in 1748 to the onset of
the independence movements by 1808. It is in the
research phase, with three trips to the Spanish and
Peruvian archives within the past year.
