Repoliticizing the Nicaraguan Army
The Nicaraguan army grew out of leftist Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) guerrilla forces and served as the military arm of the Revolution until Sandinista President Daniel Ortega was defeated in the 1990 election. From 1990 to 2006, the army evolved into a non-partisan, professional force respected across the political spectrum. Since returning to the presidency in 2007, however, Ortega has built an authoritarian regime and has attemp…
Political Corruption in Central America
Analysts agree that political corruption is an obstacle to democratic consolidation but disagree about how to measure the extent of corruption in individual nations. This analysis of the Central American countries demonstrates that the most important competing quantitative measures of political corruption produce strikingly different rankings. These contradictory results are caused less by poor measurement techniques than by the existence of two …
Trouble in Central America
In June 2009, the Honduran armed forces ousted President Manuel Zelaya in the first successful military coup in Latin America since 1991. Zelaya's overthrow was precipitated by a constitutional crisis that pitted the leftist president against the Supreme Court, National Congress, Supreme Electoral Tribunal, and both major political parties. An interim civilian government backed by the military resisted international and domestic pressures to rein…
The Guatemalan Military Since the Peace Accords
The Guatemalan military dominated the country's politics for nearly half a century, but its political power declined during the 1990s. Democratically elected presidents Alvaro Arzú (1996–2000) and Alfonso Portillo (2000–2004) subordinated the armed forces to their authority and thereby gained an unprecedented opportunity to reduce the role of the military and institutionalize democratic civil-military relations. Unfortunately, neither of these ta…
Curbing Central America's Militaries
The military traditionally has been a politically powerful obstacle to democratization in Central America. In a little more than a decade, however, democratically elected leaders in El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala have curbed the military's influence and largely subordinated it to civilian control. Nevertheless, the process of democratizing civil-military relations in the region remains incomplete. Although the armed forces no lon…
Civil-Military Relations in Post-Sandinista Nicaragua
When Nicaragua's Sandinista Revolution ended in 1990 with the electoral victory of an opposition coalition, the Sandinista Popular Army remained under the control of its revolutionary officers. This study examines the subsequent evolution of civil-military relations in postrevolutionary Nicaragua under the governments of Violeta Chamorro (1990-1997) and Arnoldo Alemdn (1997-2002). It then assesses the level of civilian control achieved by combini…

Changing Civil-Military Relations in Latin America
No military regimes now rule in Latin America, but most of the literature on civil-military relations contends that the military remains an immensely powerful and autonomous political actor that civilian leaders cannot afford to antagonize. 1 Recentl~however, new studies have emerged to challenge conventional views of civil-military relations by showing how the power and prerogatives of the armed forces have declined in many Latin American countr…
Unlikely candidates for democracy
Redefining Civil-Military Relations in Honduras
During the last two decades, military rulers have been replaced by democratically elected civilian governments throughout Latin America. Nevertheless, scholars (Mainwaringet al., 1992:3,8) contend that nearly all contemporary Latin American polities remain unconsolidated democratic regimes principally because civilian control over the armed forces has not yet been established. Although the armed forces have returned to their barracks, they have r…
Agrarian Structure and Political Stability in Honduras
In recent years, a violent social and political upheaval has been underway in Central America. A revolutionary regime has taken power in Nicaragua, and leftist guerrilla forces have begun to threaten the survival of the existing governments in El Salvador and Guatemala. Geographically surrounded by these three politically unstable countries, Honduras, in contrast, has remained remarkably free of serious internal revolutionary pressures. Although …

Civil-Military Relations in Colombia
In spite of the reestablishment of civilian democracy in Ecuador and Peru, military government continues to be the norm in Latin America. In recent years, many scholars have examined the rise of military regimes in the region in order to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of civil-military relations. Few analysts, however, have studied civil-military relations in the handful of nations where civilian government has persisted. The purpose…
Urbanization and Political Demand Measurement in Latin America
A general assumption of the modernization literature is that urbanized nations constitute more socially mobilized and therefore potentially demanding political environments (Thompson, p. 477; Deutsch, p. 498). The expansion of urban centers indicates the breakdown of traditional peasant society and the natural static political order that it represents. Consequently, Huntington (pp. 53–55) and others argue that nations undergoing the process of ur…
