Nicaraguan President Violetta Chamorro: "Five Years of Structural Adjustment"

Abstract

The impact of what has happened in the last five years in Nicaragua can be grasped only against the background of the previous period. Thus this article begins by reaching back ten years to an important event which captured something of the spirit of the revolution. Then it moves to a statement reflecting people's shock at the 1990 turn of events. We then enter into an analysis of what has happened under the Chamorro administration.
