Nicaragua
Is Ortega’s project sinking in the quicksand?
Both the national and international scenes have
experienced many changes between 2010 and 2015,
Nicaragua’s previous and current pre-electoral years.

Guatemala
The traditional elites in a struggle with the emerging elites
Guatemala isn’t drowning, it’s effervescing. Despite all the crises, there’s hope that this one, a struggle between traditional and emerging elites,

The American Dream’s anteroom is Mexico’s nightmare, Solid and liquid border vigilance, part 1
The United States, with Mexico as its underling,
has created a corridor of solid and liquid vigilance
over the amalgam of drugs, terrorism and immigrants.
Mexico has pawned its own sovereignty to be a platform
where US anti-drug, -terrorist and –immigrant organizations
can directly patrol, investigate, amass and assess information,
and witness interrogations and torture.... continuar...
