By analytically decoupling war and violence, this book explores the causes and dynamics of violence in civil war. Against the prevailing view that such violence is an instance of impenetrable madness, the book demonstrates that there is logic to it and that it has much less to do with collective emotions, ideologies, and cultures than currently believed. Kalyvas specifies a novel theory of selective violence: it is jointly produced by political actors seeking information and individual civilians trying to avoid the worst but also grabbing what opportunities their predicament affords them. Violence, he finds, is never a simple reflection of the optimal strategy of its users; its profoundly interactive character defeats simple maximization logics while producing surprising outcomes, such as relative nonviolence in the 'frontlines' of civil war.

Durante el decenio de 1980 se suscitaron en Centroamérica una serie de conflictos que amenazaron con escalar a una guerra regional generalizada y hasta a una confrontación abierta entre Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética. Los conflictos fueron provocados por la Revolución sandinista en Nicaragua; los movimientos guerrilleros en El Salvador, y la escalada de la lucha revolucionaria en Guatemala. A esto hay que añadir la tolerancia de Costa Rica como santuario primero, de los sandinistas y después, al radicalizarse Managua, en apoyo de los "contras". También hay que incluir a Honduras y su papel como santuario de fuerzas hostiles a Nicaragua y base militar de contingentes norteamericanos. Por último debe mencionarse a Cuba y su involucramiento como proveedor de armas soviéticas a la guerrilla salvadoreña a través de Nicaragua y como contribuyente de combatientes en la lucha de resistencia a los "contras". México, durante el gobierno de Miguel de la Madrid, se involucró en los conflictos como mediador en compañía de Colombia, Panamá y Venezuela, que formaron el grupo Contadora. Sin embargo la paz en Centroamérica se logra después del fin de gobierno de Miguel de la Madrid, cuando las negociaciones están ya directamente en manos de los propios centroamericanos y cuando el colapso del socialismo europeo deja a los centroamericanos desamparados. Este libro analiza en detalle los tres primeros años de Contadora.
