This [book] collects under one cover the thoughts of Central American practitioners addressing the process in the four countries most characterized by violence. . . . A significant and original contribution.Fred Woerner, former commanderinchief, U.S. Southern CommandThe editors address four questions: How do the powerful yield their power? How do key figures bring about political liberalization and democratization against seemingly impossible odds? What rules or arrangements do they design to achieve these outcomes? What is the behavior of economic elites in political and economic liberalization?The ten contributors are all active political figures in Central America, often from opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. They include a former president, a former defense minister, two former finance ministers, a Sandinista commander, a former associate of the Salvadoran guerrillas, and three presidential candidatesall providing reflections and insights on the processes by which they helped bring about political and economic change in Central America.Contributors are Jorge I.
