- W4309791335 abstract "David Johnson Lee’s new book deepens our understanding of Nicaragua, one of the hottest spots of the late Cold War. From the decades-long reign of the Somoza family to its fall in 1979, the Sandinista revolution that unfolded across the following decade, the Contra War, and the revolution’s aftermath in the post-Cold War era, Nicaragua was a small place that mattered a great deal to the international right and left. Thanks in part to the glacial pace of U.S. government declassification, this theater of conflict still awaits a full historical reckoning, but Lee brings us considerably closer to that goal. Based on archival research in a total of five countries in Central America, the United States, and Europe, as well as oral history interviews, The Ends of Modernization is a valuable interpretation of Nicaraguan history, the history of foreign relations, and the history of development. At one level, the book is a study of continuity and change in development policy. Lee explores the language and practice of development across several eras and episodes: the Alliance for Progress of the 1960s, the reconstruction of Managua after the 1972 earthquake, the Carter administration’s embrace of human rights and basic human needs during the late 1970s, the Sandinistas’ pursuit of a mixed economy and national economic integration during the 1980s, and finally the rise of “sustainable development” during the 1990s. Lee is interested in demonstrating that events in Nicaragua led the U.S. government to change its development prescriptions during the 1980s. But most striking to this reviewer are the long continuities that he finds, even as the language of development policy and some of its substance changed. To take one example, the Alliance for Progress required Latin American governments to implement reforms that would allow them to pay for their own development programs, and it called the policy “self-help.” Lee notes that three decades later, the same principle found expression in the concept of “sustainability”: a “sustainable” project was, among other things, one that the government could continue to finance when foreign aid ran out." @default.
