This book analyzes the origins and consequences of civil war in
Central America. Fabrice Lehoucq argues that the inability of
autocracies to reform themselves led to protest and rebellion
throughout the twentieth century and that civil war triggered
unexpected transitions to non-military rule by the 1990s. He
explains how armed conflict led to economic stagnation and why weak
states limit democratization - outcomes that unaccountable party
systems have done little to change. This book also uses comparisons
among Central American cases - both between them and other parts of
the developing world - to shed light on core debates in comparative
politics and comparative political economy. This book suggests that
the most progress has been made in understanding the persistence of
inequality and the nature of political market failures, while
drawing lessons from the Central American cases to improve
explanations of regime change and the outbreak of civil war.
