In Captured Peace : Elites and Peacebuilding in El Salvador, Christine J. Wade adapts the concept of elite capture to expand on the idea of 'captured peace, ' explaining how local elites commandeered political, social, and economic affairs before war's end and then used the peace accords to deepen their control in these spheres. While much scholarship has focused on the role of gangs in Salvadoran unrest, Wade draws on an exhaustive range of sources to demonstrate how day-to-day violence is inextricable from the economic and political dimensions. In this in-depth analysis of postwar politics in El Salvador, she highlights the local actors' primary role in peacebuilding and demonstrates the political advantage an incumbent party--in this case, the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA)--has throughout the peace process and the consequences of this to the quality of peace that results"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (El Salvador) SUBJECT Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (El Salvador) fast Subject Elite (Social sciences) -- Political activity -- El Salvador -- History Peace-building -- Social aspects -- El Salvador -- History Social control -- El Salvador -- History Political violence -- El Salvador -- History Violence -- Economic aspects -- El Salvador -- History Political parties -- El Salvador -- History Political participation -- El Salvador -- History POLITICAL SCIENCE -- General.
