Description

One of the longest and seemingly most intractable civil wars in Latin The usa used to be brought to an end by the signing of the Peace Accords between the Guatemalan government and the Unidad Revolucionaria Nacional Guatemalteca (URNG) in December 1996. The essays on this volume evaluate progress made within the implementation of the peace agreements and signal one of the most key challenges for future political and institutional reform. The volume opens with a chapter by Gustavo Porras, the government’s main negotiator within the peace process. The first section then examines the problem of demilitarization. That is followed by aspects of indigenous rights within the peace process, including conceptual frameworks for rights advancement, the harmonization of state law and customary law, and the challenges of nation-state and citizenship construction. The next section examines issues of truth, justice, and reconciliation, and assesses prospects for the Truth Commission. The volume closes with an analysis of different aspects of political reform in Guatemala and includes comments made on the chapters and developed within the debate which took place on the conference on which it’s based. The contributors are Marta Altolaguirre*, Marta Elena Casaús*, Demetrio Cojtí*, Edgar Gutiérrez*, Frank La Rue, Roger Plant, Gustavo Porras*, Alfonso Portillo*, Jennifer Schirmer, Rachel Sieder, David Stoll, Rosalina Tuyuc*, Anna Vinegrad, Richard Wilson (* chapters in Spanish).
