{"product_id":"new-nicaragua","title":"New Nicaragua","description":"An insider's look at the changes going on in Nicaragua—the internal political maneuvering of Daniel Ortega, the responses by the United States, and the success of recent American pro-democracy civil society efforts there.\nAt the time of Ortega's return to the presidency, attorney and award-winning author Steven Hendrix was on the ground in Nicaragua working for the U.S. Agency for International Development. \u003ci\u003eThe New Nicaragua: Lessons in Development, Democracy, and Nation-Building for the United States\u003c\/i\u003e is Hendrix's eyewitness account of the changes going on there.\n\nWhat Hendrix found in the new Nicaragua is a decidedly mixed bag: a presidential campaign marked by dirty tricks and backroom deals, yet an election held under the first neutral comprehensive observation ever in the developing world; an overt effort to appease the United States even while attempting to undermine U.S. policy in the region. Yet despite this, Hendrix saw U.S. pro-democracy, civil society efforts succeed, disproving the many skeptics who doubt that nation-building is even possible.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54251633967448,"sku":"9780313379581","price":69.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/new-nicaragua","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
