Central America: Fragile Transition (Institute of Latin American Studies)

From their participation in a study group during 1994 at the University of London, with their papers revised later to incorporate subsequent events, British and Central American contributors analyze the substantive shifts, reforms, and realignments in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Panama since the end of conflict and revolution in the region in the early 1990s. They discuss political parties and systems, the military, repatriation, the institutionalization of democracy, judicial reform, pacification and reconstruction, and United Nations verification.
