Description

This book is about ending guerrilla conflicts in Latin The us through political means. It’s about peace processes, aimed at securing an end to military hostilities in the context of agreements that touch on probably the most principal political, economic, social, and ethnic imbalances that led to conflict in the first place. The book presents a carefully structured comparative analysis of six Latin American countries―Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru―which experienced guerrilla warfare that outlasted the end of the Cold War. The book explores in detail the unique constellation of national and international events that allowed some wars to end in negotiated settlement, one to end in virtual defeat of the insurgents, and the others to rage on. The aim of the book is to identify the variables that give a contribution to the success or failure of a peace dialogue. Though the individual case studies care for dynamics that have allowed for or impeded successful negotiations, the contributors also examine comparatively such recurrent dilemmas as securing justice for sufferers of human rights abuses, reforming the military and police forces, and reconstructing the domestic economy. Serving as a bridge between the distinct literatures on democratization in Latin The us and on conflict resolution, the book underscores the reciprocal influences that peace processes and democratic transition have on each and every other, and the ways democratic “space” is created and political participation enhanced by the use of a peace dialogue with insurgent forces. The case studies―by country and issue specialists from Latin The us, america, and Europe―are augmented by commentaries of senior practitioners most immediately involved in peace negotiations, including United Nations officials, former peace advisers, and activists from civil society.
