    El Salvador: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations (name redacted) Specialist in Latin American Affairs April 5, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RS21655 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress El Salvador: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Summary Congress has maintained a strong interest in developments in El Salvador, a small Central American country with a population of 6 million. During the 1980s, El Salvador was the largest recipient of U.S. aid in Latin America as its government struggled against the leftist Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) insurgency during a 12-year civil war. A peace accord negotiated in 1992 brought the war to an end and formally assimilated the FMLN into the political process as a political party. After the peace accords were signed, U.S. involvement shifted toward helping successive Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) governments rebuild democracy and implement market-friendly economic reforms. Funes Administration Twenty-one years after the signing of the peace accords, El Salvador is governed by an FMLN Administration. In March 2009, Mauricio Funes, a former television journalist and the first FMLN presidential candidate without a guerilla past, defeated Rodrigo Ávila of the conservative ARENA party for a five-year presidential term. President Funes has generally pursued moderate policies that have enabled him to form cross-party coalitions in the National Assembly, but caused periodic friction with more radical members of his party. Now in his fourth year in office, President Funes still has high approval ratings, but faces a number of serious challenges.

  • Programmatic Political Competition in Latin America: Recognizing the Role Played by Political Parties in Determining the Nature of Party-Voter Linkages
    Programmatic Political Competition in Latin America: Recognizing the Role Played by Political Parties in Determining the Nature of Party-Voter Linkages A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Kevin Edward Lucas IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY David J. Samuels October 2015 © Kevin Edward Lucas, 2015 Acknowledgements While researching and writing this dissertation, I benefited greatly from the assistance and support of a seemingly endless list of individuals. Although I extend my most sincere gratitude to every single person who in one way or another contributed to my completion of the pages that follow, I do want to single out a few individuals for their help along the way. It is very unlikely that the unexpected development of programmatic party-voter linkages in El Salvador would have made it onto my radar as a potential dissertation topic had the Peace Corps not sent me to that beautiful yet complicated country in June 2001. During the nearly five years I spent living and working in La Laguna, Chalatenango, I had the good fortune of meeting a number of people who were more than willing to share their insights into Salvadoran politics with the resident gringo . There is no question in my mind that my understanding of Salvadoran politics would be far more incomplete, and this dissertation far less interesting, without the education I received from my conversations with Concepción Ayala and family, Señor Godoy, Don Bryan (RIP), Don Salomón Serrano ( QEPD ), and the staff of La Laguna’s Alcaldía Municipal .

  • El Salvador: Background and U.S
    El Salvador: Background and U.S. Relations Clare Ribando Seelke Specialist in Latin American Affairs June 26, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43616 El Salvador: Background and U.S. Relations Summary Congress has maintained interest in El Salvador, a small Central American country that has a large percentage of its population living in the United States, since the country’s civil conflict (1980-1992). Whereas in the 1980s the U.S. government spent billions of dollars supporting the Salvadoran government’s efforts against the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) insurgency, the United States is now working with the country’s second consecutive democratically-elected FMLN Administration. Despite the potential challenges involved for both sides, analysts predict that U.S.-Salvadoran relations will remain constructive during Salvador Sánchez Cerén’s presidency, as they did during Mauricio Funes’ term (2009-2014). El Salvador is facing significant economic and security challenges that the country is unlikely to be able to address without substantial external support. El Salvador posted an economic growth rate of just 1.4% in 2013, the lowest of any country in Central America. The government is running high deficits and attracting little foreign investment. Economists have cited security concerns as a barrier to investment. Although a truce between the country’s gangs helped lower homicide rates in 2012 and 2013, it has unraveled and violent crime is increasing. Inaugurated to a five-year term on June 1, 2014, President Salvador Sánchez Cerén, a former FMLN guerrilla commander, took office pledging to lead a government based on the principles of “honor, austerity, efficiency and transparency." After defeating the conservative Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) candidate, Norman Quijano, by just over 6,000 votes in a runoff election held in March, President Sánchez Cerén has adopted a conciliatory attitude.

  • Challenges of Party-Building in Latin America Steven Levitsky James
    CHAPTER 1 Introduction: Challenges of Party-Building in Latin America Steven Levitsky James Loxton Brandon Van Dyck Political parties are the pillars of representative democracy. Political scientists have long argued that democracy is “unworkable” (Aldrich 1995: 3) or even “unthinkable” (Schattschneider 1942: 1) without them. Yet four decades into the third wave of democratization, parties remain weak in much of Latin America. Since 1990, major parties have weakened dramatically or collapsed altogether in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Peru, and Venezuela.1 At the same time, most efforts to build new parties have failed. The regional landscape is littered with the corpses of new parties that either failed to take off or experienced brief electoral success but then fizzled out or collapsed.2 Consequently, most Latin American party systems are more fluid today than they were two decades ago. Of the six party systems scored as “institutionalized” in Mainwaring and Scully’s (1995) seminal work, one (Venezuela) has collapsed fully, three (Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica) have collapsed partially, and a fifth (Chile) has arguably been “uprooted” (Luna and Altman 2011).3 Of the four party systems that Mainwaring and Scully (1995) classified as “inchoate,” only Brazil’s has 1 On party weakness and party system collapse in Latin America, see Roberts and Wibbels (1999); Sánchez (2009); Morgan (2011); Seawright (2012); and Lupu (2014, 2016). 2 Examples include the United Left (IU), Liberty Movement, Independent Moralizing Front (FIM), and Union for Peru (UPP) in Peru; the Front for a Country in Solidarity (FREPASO), the Union of the Democratic Center (UCEDE), the Movement for Dignity and Independence (MODIN), and Action for the Republic in Argentina; the National Encounter Party (PEN) in Paraguay; the Guatemalan Republican Front (FRG), National Advancement Party (PAN), and Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity (URNG) in Guatemala; and the M-19 Democratic Alliance (AD M-19) in Colombia.
