A clear and balanced presentation of the dilemmas associated
with each of the four nations. A skillful cultural framework is
provided in the first chapter, which serves as an overview.
"Foreign AffairS"
A fine study. Anderson's reputation as a scholar and a Latin
Americanist will be enhanced when this study has time to make its
imprint. "American Political Science RevieW"
This new volume provides an up-to-date survey of the Central
American states involved in the current conflict. While several
studies of the individual countries in the region have appeared,
there have been no recent attempts at a synthesis of the problems
of the area. "Politics in Central America" fills this gap,
analyzing the roots of the current crisis and suggesting solutions
to the problems of the region. The author's chief assertion is that
the roots of the problems in Central America are not to be found in
the East-West struggle but in the competition within each country
for control of the scarce natural resources. This crisis in Central
America calls for drastic and economic changes. The key question,
Anderson claims, is whether or not these changes can be brought
about within a democratic framework.
