La acción de los individuos organizados para tratar de influir sobre los poderes públicos es algo tan antiguo como la humanidad. Siempre que el hombre se organiza, las personas se agrupan formando asociaciones que tratan de conquistar el poder o de influir activamente en aquel que lo ejerce. Tratar de influir está en la esencia del hombre, pero no es menos cierto que hablar de influencia (cabildeo en América Latina) siempre ha despertado recelos y ha sido una palabra a evitar. Pese a que se han utilizado todo tipo de eufemismos, es una profesión perfectamente normalizada en todo el mundo y más en lugares como Washington DC y Bruselas, centros neurálgicos donde todo tipo de grupos intentan influir legítimamente en las diferentes normativas. Se atribuye al presidente Kennedy la frase “los lobistas me hacen entender un problema en diez minutos, mientras que mis colaboradores tardan tres días”. Este libro trata de hacer un repaso a la historia y los orígenes de las relaciones gubernamentales en el mundo, sus técnicas, herramientas y sus implicaciones en la democracia moderna.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

From the introduction: "There is a great deal to be learned from McCleary's work, and she raises serious questions not only about Guatemalan society but also about the democratization of societies in general. . . . We must be immensely grateful to her for providing us in clear and balanced terms with the first, and perhaps only, account and analysis of what happened during those critical days in May and June of 1993."--Richard N. Adams, Rapaport Centennial Professor of Liberal Arts, Emeritus, University of Texas, Austin Documenting a rare political occurrence, Rachel McCleary examines the evolution of the two major elite groups in Guatemala--the organized private sector and the military--during the country's transition from authoritarianism to democracy. Arguing that the transition resulted from a stalemate over economic policy, she shows how the two elites altered their relations from disunity (during the period from 1982 to 1986) to unity (from 1993 to the present). Not only does she describe a nonviolent settlement, she also discusses the development of democracy in a country that was directly caught up in Cold War relations between the United States and the USSR. Thus she makes a serious contribution to the study of democratization as well as to Latin American history. Rachel M. McCleary, professor of international studies at Johns Hopkins University, is the author of Seeking Justice: Ethics and International Affairs.
