I would like to have a discussion on one or both of these questions. Please read at least one of the following papers.

  • Is economic development in Central America possible without large-scale environmental destruction?

Deforestation and Land Use on the Evolving Frontier: An Empirical Assessment by Robert Faris

Environmental protection in Nicaragua: the perennial problem of the unequal distribution of natural resources and power by Simon Hawkesworth
  • Were the revolutionary movements in Central America in the last half of the 20th century a wasteful loss of life, or a necessary force for social change?

Guerilla politics in Central America by Michael Allison

Social justice in Latin America: Dilemmas of Democracy and Revolution by Eric Selbin

  • Also, scholar.google.com turns up a great number of journal articles, conference proceedings, and review papers, although for many of these articles, free access is limited to abstracts.
