Guatemala has long been a field for struggle between other powers,
and today, racked by civil war, it avoids the full glare of
international attention only because most of the Central American
region is beset by similar problems. Despite a continued belief in
the reconstitution of a unified Central American state arid a
long-running claim to Belize, Guatemala has played a passive rather
than an active role in international politics. The influence of
international economic interests explains to a large degree why
Guatemala has not been more active in the international arena. In
this book, Professor Calvert examines Guatemala's history and the
principal aspects of the country's faction-tom society and seeks to
explain the problems-and their consistently violent
manifestations-that have attended the course of the country's
social, economic, and political development.
