Nicaragua Without Illusions Regime Transition and Structural Adjustment in the 1990s

The main body of this book is divided into three parts. The first examines the international setting in which developments in Nicaragua were taking place. The second looks at the 'new order' encompassing not only institutional changes in government, the constitution, and the armed forces but also continuity and change in economic agrarian, social, and environmental policy. The third part features chapters on groups and institutions and considers how these entities and actors were impacting and being impacted by the new system.
