Abstract

"The Ends of Modernization: Nicaragua and the United States in the Cold War Era" by David Johnson Lee is a significant analysis that offers a fresh perspective on US development projects in Nicaragua during the Cold War. The book focuses on the interaction between Nicaraguan elites and US development programs, providing a "bottom-up" view of development. It examines shifts in US development policy towards Nicaragua from the 1960s to the 1990s, highlighting the role of Nicaragua in catalyzing changes in US development doctrine. The book also explores the impact of successive US development policies on Nicaragua and the reactions of Nicaraguan actors to these shifts. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into US-Nicaraguan relations, US foreign policy, and the history of development. [Extracted from the article]
