Negotiating Peace in El Salvador - Tricia Juhn - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Negotiating Peace in El Salvador - Tricia Juhn - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Set against the backdrop of the collapsing Cold War world, this monograph draws on entirely new documentary evidence to chronicle almost two years worth of UN-led peace talks to end the civil war in El Salvador. Presented in ''moment-to-moment'' fashion, hitherto private notes and interviews with the chief UN, American and Salvadoran negotiators demonstrate that the key to enduring peace was to restructure relations between the country''s powerful entrepreneurs and the armed forces.

The Emergence of Insurgency in El Salvador - Yvon Grenier - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Emergence of Insurgency in El Salvador - Yvon Grenier - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Grenier offers a better understanding of the causes of revolution in El Salvador through an analysis of the central role of ideas and ideologues. The insurgency was not merely the charismatic embodiment of structurally determined processes, as it is commonly suggested, it was the expression of a distinct and forceful political will. The focus is placed on the period of emergence of insurgency (roughly, the 1970s and early 1980s), a period too often confounded (and not only in the Salvadoran case) with subsequent periods of the revolutionary cycle.

Seeking Peace in El Salvador - D. Negroponte - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Seeking Peace in El Salvador - D. Negroponte - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The resolution of the civil war in El Salvador coincided with the end of the Cold War. It would prove to be a test of Soviet willingness to withdraw from support of revolutionary movements in Latin America and Washington''s ability to help reconstruct a nation - twenty percent of whose population had emigrated to the United States. Analysis of the decision making in Washington, as well as the outreach to Moscow, is undertaken in conjunction with examination of the internal pressures to end the fighting. To assist in this process, the Salvadoran government accepted the United Nations as a 3rd party mediator. This book examines the work of Alvaro de Soto, the establishment of a UN Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the peace keeping role of ONUSAL. Each played a critical role in nudging both the government and the FMLN towards peace. However, after two years of negotiations and a decade-long effort to implement the peace accords, this work questions how peace was made and whether it has endured. Are the current levels of criminal violence a consequence of that civil war?

Children Writing the Holocaust - S. Vice - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Children Writing the Holocaust - S. Vice - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book examines a wide range of works written by and about child survivors and victims of the Holocaust. The writers analyzed range from Anne Frank and Saul Friedlander to Ida Fink and Louis Begley; topics covered include the Kindertransport experience, exile to Siberia, living in hiding, Jewish children masquerading as Christian, and ghetto diaries. Throughout, the argument is made that these texts use such similar techniques and structures that children''s-eye views of the Holocaust constitute a discrete literary genre.

Politics, Social Theory, Utopia and the World-System - C. El Ojeili - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Politics, Social Theory, Utopia and the World-System - C. El Ojeili - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

It is common to hear that we live in unique, turbulent and crisis-ridden times and this turbulence, transformation and crisis are said to be deeply significant - perhaps threatening - for the human sciences. Responding to such claims, this book provides an accessible engagement with pressing contemporary topics, such as violence, social movements, equality, identity and democracy. Foregrounding the imagination of possibilities (utopia), the mapping of the present (theory), and the transformation of the world-system (historical and global questions), the book surveys central issues and paradigms in contemproary political sociology, urging a recommitment to certain concepts and traditions for guidance in thinking and acting in the world.
