Focusing on Nicaragua after the 1990 Sandinista electoral defeat, this book is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary study of one of the most unusual cases of regime transition in the late 20th century. It shows the similarities and differences between Nicaragua's regime and those of other countries.

The main body of this book is divided into three parts. The first examines the international setting in which developments in Nicaragua were taking place. The second looks at the 'new order' encompassing not only institutional changes in government, the constitution, and the armed forces but also continuity and change in economic agrarian, social, and environmental policy. The third part features chapters on groups and institutions and considers how these entities and actors were impacting and being impacted by the new system.
