Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Salvador is a small developing country that has undergone important processes of agrarian change and suffered the consequences of a 12-year civil war which ended with a peace agreement in the 1990s. Economic reforms have given insufficient weight to history, institutions and politics. This book will show that to improve their efficiency, there is a need to consider how both economic and political variables have affected social structures and institutions. To be sustainable reforms should aim at an appropriate balance between growth and distribution. The outcomes of this research question some commonly accepted theses on agrarian transformation, state autonomy and the role of economic policy and foreign intervention in El Salvador and Central America in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty is pervasive in rural El Salvador. In 2004, the World Bank estimated that 57 percent of the rural population lived in extreme poverty and that 40 percent were illiterate.576 At the core of rural poverty in El Salvador (and throughout Central America) is a highly dualistic and inegaliatrian agrarian structure. This bimodal agrarian structure resulted in the underutilization of both land and labor. The case of El Salvador illustrates the distressing effect that social and economic inequalities in income and wealth distribution might have on furthering outbreaks of social unrest, violent conflict and a push for state-led redistribution of land. It could be argued that a more equal distribution of income and wealth could enhance economic growth and reduce civil conflict not necessarily through the redistribution of land alone but also through the redistribution of other assets such as access to education or other capital goods. When land is so unequally distributed that it permits the attachment of power to the agrarian structure, perhaps the only possible way of enhancing economic growth is to change the pattern of land ownership by redistributing large landholdings. This still might hold true when taking into account the efficiency losses that might arise from passing land to individuals who will initially lack managerial skills and supporting services. In this perspective an agrarian reform could be considered as the opportunity costs of an imminent civil war. In El Salvador major land reforms and dynamic changes in land legislation have taken place during the last three decades. In particular, in 1981 a state-mandated redistribution of land was decreed indented to break the dualistic agrarian ownership. Yet, the costs and benefits of mandated asset redistributions must also be carefully considered. While the agrarian reform of 1981 met many social and political objectives, there is a consensus that some of the social welfare gains were lost through a failure to raise agricultural productivity, rural incomes, reduce poverty and worst of all to stop the civil war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses the political and social dimensions of American counterinsurgency policy in El Salvador. It attempts to explain why low-intensity-conflict doctrine has not produced the desired results and to reassess that doctrine's future utility. The author's appraisal of U.S. involvement in El Salvador leads him to conclude that there is a vast disparity between U.S. objectives and achievements there. For a decade, U.S. policy toward El Salvador tried to synthesize liberal and conservative aims: foster political, social, and economic reform, and provide security to a country whose freedom from communism the United States deemed essential. In attempting to reconcile these objectives, however, the United States pursued a policy that used means unsettling to itself, for ends humiliating to the Salvadorans, and at a cost disproportionate to any conventional conception of the national interest.
