Additional information

P. Terrence Hopmann is Professor of Political Science and Acting Director of the Institute for International Studies at Brown University, P.O. Box 1970, Providence, Rhode Island, 02912. The author of numerous articles on the negotiation process and arms control negotiations, Hopmann is currently working on a new book, tentatively titledResolving International Conflicts: The Negotiation Process.

This article is based on a large number of interviews obtained by the author on several occasions in Central America. He was present in Guatemala City in August 1987, at the time of the Esquipulas II meetings of the five Central American presidents. For the following month, he led workshops for diplomats from throughout Latin America, including all states of Central America and Contadora states. Finally, he was present in San José, Costa Rica in January 1988, at the time of the Esquipulas III meeting. He is grateful to the large number of Latin American diplomats, government officials, and scholars who shared the information and ideas upon which this article is based.
