El Salvador: From the paradox of peace to social warfare

The Peace Agreements of 1992 brought an end to the armed conflict in El Salvador and transformed the country's political life, but they also left the way open for social violence to flourish. This book, originally the author's PhD thesis, explores the military, political and social dynamics involved in producing this paradox of peace, and identifies what must still be done for El Salvador to achieve a peaceful society in all respects.
