Los contratos Webster-Mora y las implicaciones sobre Costa Rica y Nicaragua

Del populismo podría decirse lo mismo que San Agustín escribió acerca del tiempo: "Si me preguntan qué es, no lo sé; si no me lo preguntan, lo sé". En efecto, el concepto populismo, aunque utilizado con frecuencia, sigue siendo evasivo e impreciso. A fin de comprenderlo, Loris Zanatta lo aborda desde una perspectiva histórica, y analiza las difíciles relaciones entre libertad política y orden social, comunidad e individuo, tiranía y democracia, esfera secular y esfera espiritual en la historia occidental, en un "largo viaje a las raíces políticas y espirituales de nuestro mundo"....

Uno de los grandes riesgos de las síntesis históricas es que al darle forma a los procesos de cambio que modifican de raíz una sociedad en un lapso de tiempo se pierden de vista las pequeñas historias de los grupos sociales participantes en los grandes movimientos. Evitar esto es uno de los grandes aciertos del libro de Hamnett, quien hace una crítica de la historia del movimiento independentista mexicano con base en la problemática de cada región del país.
