About this book

This collection explores the distinct features of post-conflict reconstruction and democratic consolidation in Central America. Three sections cover actors; political parties and party systems, the Military and returning refugees; institutions; executive-congressional relations and the judicial system; and the international context; the shifting global/regional dynamic and the impact of the United Nations on the Central American peace process.
