El fenómeno de los desplazamientos internos ocasiona impactos tanto psicológicos como económicos. Estos impactos pueden afectar variables macroeconómicas, influyendo en el bajo crecimiento experimentado en los últimos años, sin menospreciar la cantidad de dinero que el gobierno o sector público gasta en los programas relacionados, desviando fondos que podrían ser utilizados para fortalecer la infraestructura, programas de educación, salud y robustecer la economía interna del país. El estudio consiste en cuantificar el impacto de las movilizaciones internas por violencia en las principales variables macroeconómicas en El Salvador. La investigación es de tipo exploratoria y explicativa. Se obtuvo información sobre el fenómeno en estudio para analizarlo y concluir sobre el mismo. Se utilizaron modelos matemáticos estadísticos, principalmente econométricos, para buscar impactos y relaciones entre las variables de estudio, siempre y cuando la información disponible así lo permitiera. Los resultados indican un importante impacto en el consumo, no así en la inversión y abandono escolar, derivados de la violencia. En el crecimiento, la población económicamente activa, la escolaridad promedio y la variable desplazados, no son estadísticamente significativos, indicando un nulo impacto en el Producto Interno Bruto. Los desplazados han impactado el desempleo y el consumo a nivel macroeconómico. Estos impactos deben de ser tomados con cautela al formular las conclusiones, debido a las limitantes existentes en la información y a los supuestos tomados para distribuir la cantidad de desplazados en el tiempo

AbstractThis paper examines the actions of one Salvadorean priest – Padre David Rodríguez – in one parish – Tecoluca – to underscore the importance of religious leadership in the rise of El Salvador's contentious political movement that began in the early 1970s, when the guerrilla organisations were only just beginning to develop. Catholic leaders became engaged in promoting contentious politics, however, only after the Church had experienced an ideological conversion, commonly referred to as liberation theology. A focus on one priest, in one parish, allows for generalisation, since scores of priests, nuns and lay workers in El Salvador followed the same injustice frame and tactics that generated extensive political mobilisation throughout the country. While structural conditions, collective action and resource mobilisation are undoubtedly necessary, the case of religious leaders in El Salvador suggests that ideas and leadership are of vital importance for the rise of contentious politics at a particular historical moment.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

In this article, we explore the debates surrounding the proposed canonization of Archbishop Oscar Romero, an outspoken defender of human rights and the poor during the civil war in El Salvador, who was assassinated in March 1980 by paramilitary death squads while saying Mass. More specifically, we examine the tension between, on the one hand, local and popular understandings of Romero’s life and legacy and, on the other hand, transnational and institutional interpretations. We argue that the reluctance of the Vatican to advance Romero’s canonization process has to do with the need to domesticate and “privatize” his image. This depoliticization of Romero’s work and teachings is a part of a larger agenda of neo-Romanization, an attempt by the Holy See to redeploy a post-colonial and transnational Catholic regime in the face of the crisis of modernity and the advent of postmodern relativism. This redeployment is based on the control of local religious expressions, particularly those that advocate for a more participatory church, which have proliferated with contemporary globalization
