The authors give special attention to the institutional and structural causes of stability and instability--in particular, the traditional role of the United States; the current economic crisis; the changing role of the Roman Catholic church; the influence of the military and security forces, the oligarchy, and the business sector; the problems of instituting socioeconomic reform; the politics of subsistence; and the revolutionary opposition. Following the thematic chapters, a country-by-country focus is employed to assess the situations in El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Jamaica, and a section devoted to the international dimensions of the crisis looks at Mexican, Soviet, Cuban, and U.S. policies toward the region, The editors' concluding chapter explores prospects for the future of this troubled area. 410 0$aWestview special studies on Latin America and the Caribbean. 606 $aPolitical stability$zCaribbean Area 606 $aRevolutions$zCaribbean Area 606 $aCounterrevolutions$zCaribbean Area 607 $aCaribbean Area$xPolitics and government$y1945- 607 $aCaribbean Area$xForeign relations$y1945- 615 0$aPolitical stability 615 0$aRevolutions 615 0$aCounterrevolutions 676 $a972.9052 702 $aSchulz$b Donald E.$f1942- 702 $aGraham$b Douglas H. 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793646903321 996 $aRevolution and counterrevolution in Central America and the Caribbean$93832610 997 $aUNINA
