Title: Costa Rica
First published: 1998
Description: How does one explain Costa Rica's political stability? What features, for example, have allowed the country to respond to its profound economic problems in patterns so different from those prevailing in the region? In addressing these questions, Wilson provides a comprehensive study of Costa Rica's political and economic development from the colonial period to the present, with an emphasis on its contemporary political economy.
