Transnational processes, development studies and changing social hierarchies in the world system: a Central American case study
Article Abstract:
This article addresses the impact of globalization on the social hierarchies in Central America. The author argues the capitalistic global system is creating a shift in the social hierarchies through the uneven accumulation of wealth in certain regions, which is based upon geography and social groups, and not nation-states, contributing to the fragmentation of national economies and fueling social polarization.

Peace-building in the periphery: lessons from Central America
Article Abstract:
Complex political emergencies are almost entirely phenomena of the 1990s, usually happening in historically weak nations where the influences of globalization have become more important than nation-building concerns. Central America has begun to recover from its civil wars in the 1980s although reconstruction and peace-making efforts are often undermined.
