基本説明
Focuses on important thirty-year period in Nicaraguan histroy when the Conservative Republic protected the country from its more usual extremes of anarchy and tyranny. Provides case study illustrating the relationship between legitimate government and economic development.
Full Description
Arturo J.Cruz, Jr argues that political learning, trust-building, and institutional innovation by political elites broke Nicaragua's post-colonial cycle of anarchy and petty despotism, leaving in its place an increasingly inclusive oligarchic democracy that made possible state-led economic development for the next thirty years. Subsequent economic development gave rise to new social groups and localist power centres that remained politically disparate, and in turn forged an outsiders' coalition to bring down the Republic.
