Over two hundred years of autonomy in Central America, it has been amply demonstrated that the aspirations for independence, despite their political consolidation, have not fostered changes in social and economic structures. Numerous analyses point to a recurring lack of vision and will to redirect the path of Central American countries. Where does the region stand? What prospects can be envisioned based on the conditions of daily life? Are there alternatives that can remedy the excesses of the current system and redirect or transform it? These and other questions motivate and stimulate the fifteen essays that comprise this collective work, winners of the call for submissions organized by the Executive Secretariat of CLACSO and its member centers in Central America. The aim of this initiative is to highlight the relevance of the knowledge produced by researchers in the region to strengthen Latin American integration.
