The movement to advance transparency, accountability, and democratic governance in Guatemala peaked in 2015, when the country's president and vice president were forced to step down, but many civil society groups continue to promote an anticorruption agenda. Since then, the movement has been met with backlash from politicians and members of Guatemala's economic elite, and efforts to root out corruption have been hindered by increasing ideological polarization within both the movement and Guatemalan society as a whole.Anticorruption mobilization in GuatemalaPolitical corruptionGuatemalaPreventionCorruptionGuatemalaPreventionPolitics and governmentfastCorruptionPreventionfastPolitical corruptionPreventionfastGuatemalaPolitics and government21st centuryGuatemalafastPolitical corruptionPrevention.CorruptionPrevention.Politics and government.CorruptionPrevention.Political corruptionPrevention.Flores Walter1409602Rivers MirandaUnited States Institute of Peace,DIDDIDOCLCFGPOOCLCOOCLCQOCLOCLCOOCLCQGPOBOOK9910717214203321Curbing corruption after conflict3496445UNINA
