Guatemala
A Nation In Turmoil
Guatemala's Historical Context
Guatemala has long been a field for struggle between other powers, and today, racked by civil war, it avoids the full glare of international attention only because most of the Central American region is beset by similar problems.
Regional and Political Dynamics
Despite a continued belief in the reconstitution of a unified Central American state and a long-running claim to Belize, Guatemala has played a passive rather than an active role in international politics.
Influences on Guatemala's International Role
The influence of international economic interests explains to a large degree why Guatemala has not been more active in the international arena.
About the Book
In this book, Professor Calvert examines Guatemala's history and the principal aspects of the country’s faction-torn society and seeks to explain the problems—and their consistently violent manifestations—that have attended the course of the country’s social, economic, and political development.
