Summary:

In 1990, Nicaraguans voted out the revolutionary Sandinista regime and replaced it with the conservative government of President Violeta Chamorro. Chamorro's term of office was marked by constitutional, economic, partisan, and social conflict, as her administration attempted to replace the revolutionary system with representative government and market economics. Close examines these conflicts and assesses their impact on Nicaragua's political actors and governmental institutions. He concludes with an analysis of the 1996 Nicaraguan elections and with a provocative exploration of the impact of the revolution on Nicaragua today.
