Recenzje

'An analysis of the politics of Central America that is up to date theoretically, methodologically, and substantively. Fabrice Lehoucq's masterful study of civil wars, democratization, and the challenges of democratic consolidation shows why this region belongs at the center of debates about comparative politics. If I were to recommend one book on modern Central America to my students, it would be this one.' James Mahoney, Northwestern University
