Transnational Politics in Central America
ISBN: 9780813044453 / Angielski / Miękka / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Political theorists tend to write about the countries of Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama) either as individual nation-states or as the pawns and victims of international intervention.

Many municipalities responded to decentralization with transparent, accountable government, yet others suffered ineptitude, corruption, or both. Why?
