The Nicaraguan Constitution of 1987 : English Translation and Commentary, Paperback / softback Book

The Nicaraguan Constitution of 1987 : English Translation and Commentary Paperback / softback

Part of the Research in International Studies, Latin America Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

This volume of seven essays on the 1987 Nicaraguan constitution does not accept a priori the judgment that Latin American constitutions are as fragile as egg shells, easily broken and discarded if found to be inconvenient to the interests of the rulers.

Rather, they are viewed as being central to understanding political life in contemporary Nicaragua. The perspectives of the analysts and their conclusions are not consensual.

They prohibit glib and facile general conclusions. Some find the constitution to be nothing more than a façade for arbitrary and capricious rule; others that the document reflects clear commitments to the democratic rule of law.

Thus far the implementation of the constitution has resulted in the peaceful transition of power from the Sandinistas to the National Opposition Union.
