Extract

Growing political turmoil and economic stagnation in the Western Hemisphere, especially in Central America, caused the U.S. government and a number of private groups to search in depth for more profound understanding of the problems of the region and for appropriate policy responses. Beginning in 1979, with the anti- Somoza revolution in Nicaragua, a large number of scholars, journalists and commentators began to write about Central America to the amazement and amusement of those three or four academics who had covered the region before. All who studied the Central American situation found plenty wrong with it.
