Ignacio Medina Núñez*, "Central America: Integration processes and border conflicts".
This paper offers a diagnosis of major border disputes in Central America, locating a particular case study on the Nicaraguan-Costa Rican border. We wish to show how these conflicts have hindered the integration processes in Central America (SICA: Central American Integration System) showing only a scheme where the nations of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua, from different positions, have been advancing in agreements for the transit of people and activities of economic cooperation while Costa Rica and Panama want to follow a different path. Besides, the different political trends of each government also originate clashes that hinder such integration.
*Ignacio Medina holds a PhD in Social Science and currently works as a professor for the Department of Juridical and Political Studies (DSOJ) at ITESO (Jesuit University of Guadalajara) and at the University of Guadalajara CUCSH
