Political Culture and Institutional Development in Costa Rica and Nicaragua: World-Making in the Tropics , Consuelo Cruz, New York: Cambridge University Press, 2005, pp. 281.

In the same critical vein through which Jeffery Paige, Edelberto Torres, Deborah Yashar, and Andres Perez-Baltodano—each from different theoretical perspectives—have sought to discern the contrasting dynamic of polities' formation in Central America, Cruz advances an integrative, in-depth study nurtured by “elements of rationalist, structural and cultural theories” (1
