Negotiating Peace in El Salvador: Civil-Military Relations and the Conspiracy to End the War

by Tricia Juhn

Overview

Set against the backdrop of the collapsing Cold War world, this monograph draws on entirely new documentary evidence to chronicle almost two years worth of UN-led peace talks to end the civil war in El Salvador. Presented in 'moment-to-moment' fashion, hitherto private notes and interviews with the chief UN, American and Salvadoran negotiators demonstrate that the key to enduring peace was to restructure relations between the country's powerful entrepreneurs and the armed forces.

From the Publisher

Reconstructs how UN peace talks led to a resolution of conflict between the government and guerillas in El Salvador. Sheds new light on the role of the military, economic elites, political parties, and international actors in creating a political settlement to the civil war during the 1980s and early 1990s, drawing on documentary evidence and interviews with key participants.
