Abstract
This paper is a culmination of years of study on Central American
politics, both domestic and foreign. My choice of Guatemala as a case
study stems from an internship in Philadelphia in 1988. I did extensive
research and writings through The Program for Emergency Aid,
Cooperation and Education (P.E.A.C.E.) for Guatemala. Guatemala is a neglected area of Central America in the press
(being overshadowed by its neighbors EI Salvador and Nicaragua) and
it has received a large amount of US aid in the 1980s. It would seem a
greater concern to Americans, since Texas is closer to Guatemala than
to Washington DC. This is an important aspect of peasant-state
relations in Guatemala. Why? Due to the growing interdependence of
nation-states in the world.
