En la presente investigación, se estudió la competitividad de las exportaciones hondureñas de cacao, miel natural y la cebolla, para dicho análisis se calculó el índice de competitividad de las exportaciones según el enfoque de Bela Balassa, comúnmente conocido por Ventaja Comparativa Revelada (VCR); esta metodología se aplicó para comparar el monto de las exportaciones de un producto determinado de un país, respecto a las exportaciones totales enviadas al mundo y, a su vez, se comparó el resultado obtenido para otros países competidores. El estudio se realizó considerando que el objetivo principal de la investigación es explicar los principales hallazgos sobre el comportamiento de los resultados obtenidos por el índice de VCR de las exportaciones para Honduras, comparado con los socios comerciales de Centroamérica. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que Honduras no posee VCR en las exportaciones de los productos analizados respecto a los países centroamericanos, sin embargo, el país de la región con los mejores resultados de competitividad para el mercado de la cebolla fue Guatemala. Por otro lado, Nicaragua fue el país más competitivo en las exportaciones de cacao y, El Salvador mostró los mejores resultados para la miel natural.

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AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador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
