This paper examines how agriculture cooperatives in Nicaragua were affected by the profound political, economic and social transitions that have occurred in the country since 1979 as well as how these cooperatives influenced these transitions. In particular, the author focuses on the changes brought about by the transition from the post-revolutionary Sandinista regime of the 1980s to the “neoliberal” regime of the 1990s and early 2000s. The authors also highlight the importance of inclusive agrarian development in peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction efforts.
