520 | ## | $aBased on a 1986 USC conference, this edited volume offers a comprehensive assessment of the Central American conflicts of the 1980s and U.S. engagement. The sixteen contributors analyze U.S. policies under the Reagan administration—executive-legislative dynamics, refugee relief, low‑intensity warfare tactics, and interventions in Mexico-led peace processes—as instruments to reassert regional hegemony. The book also explores regional responses: economic crisis and integration, the Catholic Church’s ambiguous role, Guatemala’s “hidden war,” demonstration elections, shifts in El Salvador, and Nicaragua’s post-revolution economic strategy. Contributing authors from Central America offer grounded insight, and the volume concludes that U.S. policy largely failed, urging a shift toward constructive, humane alternatives. |
