Breve Reseña

The countries of Central America , afflicted for many years by civil strife and economic stagnation, are now entering a new era of peace, democracy, and economic development. To achieve their aspirations, they will need to reform many aspects of their legal systems. This volume examines two fields of law in which reforms are especially crucial: the improvement of the judicial systems and other mechanisms for resolving noncriminal disputes, and modernization of the laws governing both tangible an “intellectual” property.

Among the specific topics addressed in the volume are the debate over “oralidad”; the problem of interlocutory appeals; nonjudicial procedures for resolving disputes (negociation, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration); land and trademark registration systems; land reform in Nicaragua; the management of genetic resources; online legal databases; and legal education.

Breve Reseña

Developing countries around the world face the dual challenge of speeding up economic growth and slowing down environmental degradation, two objectives that are perceived to be in direct conflict. The chapters in this volumen demonstrate for Central Amrica how economic and environmental policies can be coordinated and integrated to advance bot sustainability and competitiveness in the region. Using comprehensive surveys, statistical analysis, and micro and macro modeling, the authors demonstrate that Central America 's competitive future and development potencial are inextricably linked to its natural environment. This is shown to be true not only in the negative sense of minimizing the damage to the natural resource base and mitigating the impact of natural disasters, but also in the positive sense of making the region more attractive to foreign investors, aligning the agricultural and tourist sectors with more lucrative markers, and exploiting the emerging markets in environmental services and “green” trade.

The studies on deforestation recommend policies to raise the financial value of the standing forests more in line ithe its true economic value through ecotourism and through the pricing and marketing of local and global environmental services. The studies on agriuclture recommend protection of property rights, contorol of agricultural externalities and shift of resources from traditional to organic crops for export, and competition on costs rather than price. The studies on tourims advocate a better matching between demand and supply, greater complementarity between on-site services and infrastructure, and congestion pricing and the devolopment and marketing of a regional tourists product. Tapping the emerging international markets for environmental services, whether for carbon sequestration or biodiversity, holds great potencial for Central America , a region of special ecological significance for the entire American continent. The region can extract advantageous trade terms in hemispheric trade negotiations by utilizing its “environmental card”, i.e. its capacity to deliver invoronmental goods nad services in the form of biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration and sustainable tourism. In this regard, tightening environmental regulations in Central America is shown not to discourage investment but to help maintain competitiveness in the agricultural and tourist sectors.

Breve Reseña

For decades, Central America has faced market dependency, natural disasters, and political systems characterized by protectionist policies and low levels of participation-situations that have had a tremendous impact on its economic development. This two-volume set is a comprehensive assessment of Central America 's position in the world economy and serves as a handbook for the important economic reforms it must undertake to become viable competitors in the international economy.

The authors in volume one evaluate such issues as Central America's unique contribution to the world market, trade and investment potencial, the externaldebt problem, exchange rate policy, and the currency crisis. Recent macroeconomic trends shed light on Central America 's particular economic condition. The authors focus on the ways Central America can achieve sustained long-term economic growth through liberalization of trade and investment, diversifying exports products, taking full advantage of its unique geographical location, and becoming a part of existing and devolping international agreements dedicated to helping the region. Volume two discusses the implementation of specific structural reforms. Extensive research on the region and evaluations of international models form the foundation for the innovative financial restructuring proposals presented. The authors argue that reforming fiscal policy, pensions, and financial markets ist he basis for the transformational process. Better transportation and communication infrastructure, for example, increases Central America 's ability to move goods, people, and idesas. This volume addresses the relationship between economic growth and sustainability vis-à-vis the telecommunications sector, the energy sector, various social policies, and education.
