Abstract

This study, arising from the Ford Foundation Southampton project on North-South security relations, focuses on the concept of security in Central America and the Caribbean, and on perceptions by states in the region of the rival claims of political independence, economic well-being, national security and regional stability. The Central American region is of particular interest because of the range it displays of crisis-management regimes and crisis-control techniques; it also provides an illuminating example of the contemporary interaction of East-West and North-South relations. Specific case studies are combined with theoretical analysis in this integrated assessment of the Central American situation that includes contributions from leading scholars in the UK, United States and Central America itself.

Abstract

With the increasing use of elections as a tool for peacebuilding after civil war, the question of why some postconflict elections succeed and others fail is a crucial one. Tackling this question, Terrence Lyons finds the answer in the internal political dynamics that occur between the cease-fire and the voting. Lyons shows that the promise of elections can provide the incentive for the demilitarization of politics—-he transformation of institutions made powerful by war into those capable of sustaining peace—so that warring parties will in fact choose to change their strategies and adapt to peaceful electoral competition. It is this process of demilitarization that is in turn key to meaningful elections; elections alone, as has been seen repeatedly, are not enough to advance the dual goals of peace and democracy. Incorporating evidence from a range of recent cases, Demilitarizing Politics offers a concrete strategy for peaceful change that can be implemented, and that can make a difference.

Abstract

Sinds het einde van de Vietnamese oorlog onderging het land fundamentele politieke en economische veranderingen. De auteur analyseert het economisch programma van de communistische partije en de overgang naar een markteconomie die vanaf 1986 aanving. Hij toont aan hoe deze hervorming tot ernstige sociale en menselijke problemen leidde: boeren verliezen hun land, de ongelijkheid neemt toe en de industrie-arbeiders behoren tot de meest uitgebuite van de hele wereld. De auteur argumenteert dat de pogingen van de communistische partij om socialisme en markteconomie te combineren alleen voor gevolg heeft gehad dat de meest negatieve kanten van beide systemen gestimuleerd werden.
