David Johnson Lee charts the transformation of the ideals of modernization, national autonomy, and planned development as they gave way to human rights protection, neoliberalism, and sustainability. Using archival material, newspapers, literature, and interviews with historical actors in countries across Latin America, the United States, and Europe, Lee demonstrates how conflict between the United States and Nicaragua shaped larger international development policy and transformed the Cold War. In Nicaragua, the backlash to modernization took the form of the Sandinista Revolution which ousted President Anastasio Somoza Debayle in July 1979.United States in the world.Cornell scholarship online.United StatesForeign relationsNicaraguaNicaraguaForeign relationsUnited StatesNicaraguaPolitics and government1937-1979NicaraguaPolitics and government1979-1990NicaraguaPolitics and government1990-327.7307285Lee David Johnson1978-1504091StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910794540503321The ends of modernization3732896UNINA
