Since the retirement of longtime dictator Tiburcio Carías Andino (1932-1949), the search for institutional stability in Honduras has led to both democratically elected governments and the imposed discipline of military rule. Social and economic change has contributed to the growth of middle-class urban groups, strongly organized labor unions, and a vigorous peasant movement. The Honduran armed forces, established in modern form only after World War II, filled the vacuum of political power that developed as the Liberal and National political parties failed to address the problems created by change and national development, but the authoritarianism of military rule has been countered by historical patterns of caudillo politics. Despite the revolutionary turmoil that surrounds the country, Hondurans have successfully conducted national elections and installed a freely elected civilian government after more than ten years of military rule. It is within this mix of "traditional" and "praetorian" governing modes that Hondurans have fashioned a style of politics conducive to compromise, which accounts for the country's relative tranquillity today. In this first comprehensive study of contemporary Honduras—its land, people, economy, and politics—to be published in English, Dr. Morris also outlines the historical context that has shaped the society of this now geopolitically important nation and conditioned its political dynamics over the past three decades. His analysis illuminates the characteristics that distinguish Honduras from its Central American neighbors and that may dictate a unique course for its political evolution.

Past severe winters experienced in the United States, combined with escalated fuel prices and other unattractive conditions such as higher taxes, inflation, crime, urban decay, etc., have forced numerous American retirees south to more climatically favorable and economically amenable areas. Many have ventured into foreign lands in search of these amenities and some have established retirement residency in the nations south of our international border. Among these adventurous retiree migrants are significant numbers of American military retirees who have histories of extensive foreign travel and residence during their military careers. This book is about that migrant group and its settlement in Central America and parts of Mexico. It examines the places where these migrants have settled, determines why they have chosen those specific places for retirement, describes their characteristics, explains how the migration takes place, and discusses its consequences. Also, it provides a brief history of United States military personnel in foreign areas, with emphasis on the relationship between their frequent relocation and their propensity to migrate after retirement, and describes the world distribution of the 1.2 million members that comprise the military retiree population.
