Description: Sandinista Nicaragua's Resistance to US Coercion by Héctor Perla, Jr Perla argues that beyond traditional diplomatic, military, and domestic state policies a crucial element of the Sandinista National Liberation Fronts defensive strategy was the mobilization of a transnational social movement to build public opposition to Reagans policy within the United States, thus preventing further escalation of the conflict. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description How was the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) of Nicaragua able to resist the Reagan Administrations coercive efforts to rollback their revolution? Héctor Perla challenges conventional understandings of this conflict by tracing the process through which Nicaraguans, both at home and in the diaspora, defeated US aggression in a highly unequal confrontation. He argues that beyond traditional diplomatic, military, and domestic state policies a crucial element of the FSLNs defensive strategy was the mobilization of a transnational social movement to build public opposition to Reagans policy within the United States, thus preventing further escalation of the conflict. Using a contentious politics approach, the author reveals how the extant scholarly assumptions of international relations theory have obscured some of the most consequential dynamics of the case. This is a fascinating study illustrating how supposedly powerless actors were able to constrain the policies of the most powerful nation on earth. Author Biography Héctor Perla is Assistant Professor for the Latin American and Latino Studies Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Table of Contents Introduction; 1.
