PROCESSOS DE PAZ NOS PAÍSES DA AMÉRICA CENTRAL: ANÁLISE DOS PAPEIS MUTANTES DOS EUA
Palavras-chave:
América Central, Estados Unidos da América (EUA), Acordos de Paz, DemocratizaçãoResumo
A América Central tem a sua história recente cheia de episódios que resultaram em conflitos
violentos sobre a manutenção da terra, confrontos entre grupos armados paralelos ou mesmo derivados da tentativa de controle do crime organizado. Isto levou países como Guatemala, El Salvador e Nicarágua a receberem intensas interferências externas no combate à violência e estabelecimento da paz. Este artigo argumenta, por um lado, que os Estados Unidos desempenharam um papel importante em intervir em processos de paz durante o século XX nesses países, que envolveram governos e forças armadas não estatais; por outro lado, desenvolve a ideia de que esse ator externo tem atuado como um jogador importante nestes processos, como consequência de sua influência regional na área, tentando identificar por meio de fontes
como revisão bibliográfica e outras, suas diferentes estratégias como um embaixador da estabilidade da democracia. A principal contribuição para a investigação em estudos sobre o processo de paz na América Central é que não apenas os atores nacionais devem ser considerados em uma análise mais aprofundada, mas também os externos.
