The article is a review of two books that reflect on the crisis in Central America, specifically in the Northern Triangle composed of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. The books analyze the political and structural problems of the region, such as the emergence of populism, autocratic tendencies, and democratic erosion. They also address topics such as violence, social mobilizations, international relations, and political cycles. The authors, Neil Shenai and Manuel Montobbio, offer proposals to contribute to the development of the region, which is characterized by poverty, violence, and state weakness.
