This article analyzes the innovative capabilities demonstrated by the actors involved in economic initiatives integrated in the Grupo Bajo Lempa emerging in the rural Tecoluca municipality in El Salvador. Over the span of more than fifteen years, this core network of actors involved in creating and strengthening these initiatives has been able to mobilize local and external capital and knowledge resources from diverse public and private sources in order to introduce significant technological innovations that have led to progressive improvements in the livelihood conditions for the families involved. The question is: how do innovative capabilities emerge and how are they expressed in the innovative practice of the task-networks directly involved in Grupo Bajo Lempa’s economic initiatives, especially those related to interactive learning and synergistic networking?   RESUMEN Este artículo analiza las capacidades innovadoras demostradas por los actores involucrados en iniciativas económicas integradas en el consorcio del Grupo Bajo Lempa emergiendo en la municipalidad rural de Tecoluca en El Salvador. A través de más de quince años la red básica de actores involucrados en la creación y fortalecimiento de estas iniciativas ha logrado movilizar el financiamiento, conocimientos y otros recursos necesarios de diversas fuentes para realizar innovaciones tecnológicos importantes que han permitido mejoras progresivas en las condiciones de vida de las familias involucradas. La pregunta a contestar es: Cómo emergen las capacidades innovadoras y cómo son expresadas en la práctica innovadora de las redes de actores directamente involucradas en las iniciativas económicas del Grupo Bajo Lempa, especialmente las relacionadas con el aprendizaje interactivo y la interacción sinérgica en redes?

AbstractWhen the United States invaded Nicaragua in 1912 the popular reaction in El Salvador was so strong that it completely upended politics. The article argues that this anti-imperialist movement, completely ignored by the current historiography, forced Salvadorean governments to make decisions regarding foreign policy that would have been unthinkable had it not been for the pressure from below. Popular pressures contributed to limit the scope of the final version of the Chamorro–Bryan Treaty between the United States and Nicaragua. The treaty did not include Platt Amendment-like provisions. Moreover, the Wilson administration abandoned the idea of extending a protectorate to all the Central American countries and building a naval base in the Gulf of Fonseca.

Pinochet Dictatorship

AbstractThis article takes existing histories of Chilean transnational anti-communist activity in the 1970s beyond Operation Condor (the Latin American military states’ covert transnational anti-communist intelligence and operations system) by asking how the Pinochet dictatorship responded to two key changes in the international system towards the end of that decade: the Carter presidency and introduction of the human rights policy, and the shift of the epicentre of the Cold War in Latin America to Central America. It shows how both Salvadoreans and Chileans understood the Pinochet dictatorship as a distinct model of anti-communist governance, applicable far beyond Chile's own borders. This study of Chilean foreign policy in El Salvador contributes to new histories of the Latin American Extreme Right and to new understandings of the inter-American system and the international history of the conflicts in Central America in the late 1970s and the 1980s.
