Trajectories of Governance

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Trajectories of Governance studies the complex dynamics of order-making, violence, and governance in peripheral cities in Latin America from a comparative, historical, and multi-scalar approach.

It aims to discover more about the drivers, contexts, and uneven levels of violence through the case studies of Chalatenango and Sonsonate in El Salvador and Pereira and Tunja in Colombia.

Based on a multidisciplinary analytical framework, it explains why and how some peripheral cities have become the locus of violent orders, whereas others have managed to control violence. The book also examines the role of violence in the workings of local governance.
