Description
Debates about the nature of the conflicts that afflict Central America often fail to acknowledge the historical depths of the crises' roots, and underestimate the dynamism and complexity of the social structures that underlie the political struggles. This book employs a consistent comparative framework to sort out the relations among economic growth, social organization and political structure.
