Item A report on the operations of FUSADES : promoting neoliberalism via relationships to parties, governance, transnational institutions, and mainstream media in El Salvador(2018-11-30) Cordova, Sherley Katherine; Auyero, Javier; Fridman, DanielFUSADES is the largest think tank in El Salvador, and has been successful in influencing policy towards a neoliberal direction since it was founded in 1983. Guided by four dimensions--cooperative and competitive relationships with political parties, the revolving-door between governments and think tanks, media presence, and transnational ties--pointed out in think tank scholarship, I point to the ways FUSADES is able to influence policy in El Salvador, and how they are limited by the FMLN’s rise to power. Using Thomas Medvetz’s argument--that think tanks are able to exercise influential power in various ways through their purposeful ambiguity, which allows them to legitimize themselves as objective institutions--I show how FUSADES legitimizes itself as an objective and impartial institution despite their promotion of neoliberal policies. In this thesis, I ultimately argue that FUSADES is a neoliberal institution that has multidimensional influence over Salvadoran policies that shape the country’s political and economic system. Questions I address throughout the thesis are: how is FUSADES legitimized as an “impartial” institution? What are the political implications of their professed impartiality? What allows them to influence governance? How is their influence limited? What explicit and implicit role(s) does FUSADES play in the Salvadoran economy and its political system?Item Causes for Civil War and Failed Revolution in El Salvador(2004-02-14) Kyle, BrettItem Comparative Studies of the "Japanese Peace Corps" and U.S. Peace Corps: Program Terminations in El Salvador and Colombia(LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections, 2013) Kawachi, KumikoItem A Comprehensive Analysis on the Healthcare Systems in Latin America(2019-12-08) Calderon, Melinda; Haque, Sarah; Gallagher, Matt; Jackson, Kelly; Khatry, Melissa; Solimano, ElenaItem Confusion, conformity, and contradiction : the Salvadoran state's reluctant engagements with indigenous recognition(2007-08) Clark, Joshua P.; Hooker, JulietThis thesis explores the recent shift in one aspect of Salvadoran state discourses about the content of the Salvadoran "nation": that dealing with the existence and status of indigenous people. Having recently shown signs that it may abandon its longstanding position that El Salvador is a homogeneously mestizo country, the state’s tentative steps towards official recognition of an indigenous population are shown to lack clarity of both substance and purpose. The representations of and knowledge about Salvadoran Indians that are today being deployed by state actors are sporadic and promote incoherent visions of what "being indigenous" means (and can mean) in contemporary El Salvador. Two related claims about the nature of Salvadoran state recognition of indigeneity follow from this realization. First, "the state" should not be seen as a unitary actor with one set of consistent interests in the kind of indigenous subject it will authorize and the national image it will foment. Second, the representations of indigeneity that constitute semiofficial acts of recognition are the direct result of international influence directed at agencies of the Salvadoran state. Specific state actors are modeling the way they make Indians visible in conformity with ascendant norms of multicultural recognition that become operant in subtly, yet meaningfully, different ways. Both of these claims point to a "state" whose control over knowledge production and subject formation is limited, a fact that I end by suggesting that indigenous activists should take into account and, indeed, exploit in their struggle for greater political agency as indigenous people.Item El Salvador Week (program), October 21-25, 2002(2002-10-25) Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies (LLILAS)Item El Salvador, Memoria Anual de Labores y Memoria de Labores de las Elecciones de 1994(1994-07) Tribunal Supremo Electoral de El SalvadorItem El Salvador, Memoria Especial Elecciones 1997(1997) Tribunal Supremo Electoral de El SalvadorItem El Salvador, Memoria Especial Elecciones 1999(1999-03-07) Tribunal Supremo Electoral de El SalvadorItem El Salvador, Memoria Especial Elecciones 2000(2000-09) Tribunal Supremo Electoral de El SalvadorItem El Salvador, Memoria Especial Elecciones 2003(2003-10) Tribunal Supremo Electoral de El SalvadorItem El Salvador, Memoria Especial Elecciones 2006(2006) Tribunal Supremo Electoral de El SalvadorItem El Salvador, Memoria Especial Elecciones 2009(2009-06) Tribunal Supremo Electoral de El SalvadorItem El Salvador, Memoria Especial, Elección Presidencial 2004(2004-06) Tribunal Supremo Electoral de El SalvadorItem El Salvador, Web archive of the Tribunal Supremo Electoral(2012) Tribunal Supremo Electoral de El SalvadorItem Forced into exile : conflicts of space, gender and identity among young Salvadoran deportees(2015-05) Gutierrez, Miguel Jr.; Rodriguez, Néstor; Roberts, Bryan R., 1939-The focus of this thesis is on male, Salvadoran deportees, aged 20-35, who after spending their formative years in the United States, are faced with the task of reintegrating into Salvadoran society. Overall, Salvadoran males account for 90% of detainees and deportees to El Salvador (UCA, 2015). Through this sample, I explore the experience of young deportees in the growing call-center sector, and explore the consequences of gendered, transnational narratives, and the impact of deportations on their identity. The backdrop for this study is El Salvador's growing call-center industry, as this is the site where I interviewed participants, and one that was continuously framed as a site of criminality by local Salvadorans. The way young deportees maintain bonds with their former communities in the United States, perform their identities, and self-identify can greatly influence the manner in which they interact with Salvadorans in their new society. Consequently, these former aspects can greatly affect how deportees reconstruct their lives in a foreign context.Item Frente Sandalista: Liberal Yanquís and Political Power in Nicaragua and El Salvador, 1979-1992(2008-02-09) Cheasty Miller, KristinItem Getting to America : the new normal in undocumented migration from Central America to the United States(2016-08) Do Nascimento, Martin Hadsell; Darling, Dennis Carlyle; Minutaglio, WilliamA visual and written treatment of the driving forces behind undocumented migration to the United States from Central America in 2016, the dangers of the journey, and US policy responses to the phenomenon through the perspectives of those affected and informed by testimony.Item Grassroots peacemaking : the paradox of “reconciliation” in El Salvador(2011-05) Velásquez Estrada, R. Elizabeth; Speed, Shannon, 1964-; Hale, Charles R.This paper examines how ex-combatants of El Salvador’s 1980-1992 civil war view post-war processes of reconciliation. I demonstrate that contrary to dominant understandings of ongoing political polarization in El Salvador, perpetuated by Salvadoran political parties, many former army and guerrilla combatants are coexisting in the same communities and working together in various ways. I show how the Salvadoran Peace Accords and the apparent political polarization has opened a space for the recreation of social networks and the creation of communities in post-war societies. I call this process “grassroots peacemaking,”emphasizing the everyday negotiations of remembering and creating new social relations in a nation torn apart by war and violence.
