Abstract:
Abstract: Guatemala has experienced sustained democratic backsliding, including the manipulation of the 2023 electoral playing field. Yet, against the odds, Guatemalan citizens defied the ruling regime's electoral authoritarian strategy, voting an anticorruption reformer into power. This article analyzes Guatemala's (anti)democratic trajectory and explains how opposition actors resisted further backsliding during the 2023 electoral process. The authors argue that the Guatemalan regime reflects a "criminal oligarchy," and examine how rule-of-law advances prompted elite backlash that eviscerated democratic institutions. The unexpected 2023 electoral outcome, however, illustrates the possibilities of exploiting fissures in the criminal-oligarchic coalition to arrest authoritarian consolidation.

AbstractUsing data from the National Survey of Standards of Living conducted in Guatemala in 2000, this article tests the hypothesis that Guatemalan households use child labor and reduce child schooling to cope with household shocks. First, the authors use factor analysis to estimate the latent household propensity to natural disasters and socioeconomic shocks. Then, they estimate bivariate probit models to identify the determinants of child labor and schooling, including household propensity to natural disasters and socioeconomic shocks. Results suggest that households use child labor to cope with natural disasters and socioeconomic shocks. In contrast, the authors found no evidence that suggests that households reduce child schooling to cope with shocks. Findings also indicate that poor households are more likely to use child labor and schooling reduction as strategies to cope with socioeconomic shocks.

Abstract:
Guatemala, with 16 million inhabitants, is the largest economy of Central America and should have the largest scientific output of the region. To assess its productivity and impact, we analyzed the 3380 Guatemala articles included in the SCI-expanded in June, 2017. Most Guatemala documents are articles in English, deal with nutrition and health problems, and have a mean of 7.4 authors per article. Also in this particular database, citation lifespan is 40 years, and citations are higher for articles in English (twice more than those in Spanish), for reviews (mean 24 citations per review) and for studies resulting from international collaboration, which is done mostly with the USA and Mexico. The most productive institutions are the Center for Studies of Sensory Impairment CESSIAM, the universities of San Carlos and El Valle, and the Central American Nutrition Institute INCAP (but the INCAP has decreased productivity in recent years). The most productive researchers are N.W. Solomons, R. Bressani, L.G. Elías, C. Rolz and A. Cáceres. Guatemala represents a particular case in Central America because its high quality research is dependent on particular researchers rather than on institutions, and because the total output is well under the expectation. The productivity and citation of Guatemalan science in the 18 journals published in the country, and in other journals also not covered in the in the SCI-expanded, remain unknown. Nevertheless, the historical trend is positive, with a clear growth of international collaboration, productivity and citation.

Abstract:
Abstract 59 Background: Abandonment of therapy is a major cause of therapeutic failure in the treatment of childhood cancer in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC). This study examines factors associated with increased risk of therapy abandonment in Guatemalan children with cancer and the rates of therapy abandonment before and after implementation of a multidisciplinary psychosocial intervention program. Methods: A retrospective population-based study was performed to identify risk factors for abandonment of therapy in Guatemalan children, ages 0-18, with cancer who were seen at UNOP from 2001-2008. Patient data was collected from the Pediatric Oncology Networked Database (POND4Kids). Abandonment was defined as a lapse of 4 weeks in planned treatment or failure to begin treatment for a potentially curable cancer. Cox proportional hazards analysis identified the effect of age, sex, year of diagnosis, distance travelled to UNOP, ethnicity, and principal diagnosis on abandonment of therapy. Kaplan Meier analysis was used to evaluate survival. Results: A retrospective analysis of 1,789 charts was performed and 367 patients abandoned therapy. The rate of abandonment decreased from 27% in 2001 to 7% in 2008 following a multidisciplinary psychosocial intervention program. Greater distance to UNOP (p = 0.00), younger age (p = 0.02) and earlier year of diagnosis (p = 0.00) were associated with increased risk of abandonment. Abandonment of therapy correlated with decreased survival. The cumulative survival at 8.3 years was 0.57 ± 0.02 (survival±SE) for those who completed therapy vs 0.06 ± 0.02 for those who abandoned and refused therapy (p=0.000) in an abandonment sensitive analysis. Conclusion: This study identified distance, age, and year of diagnosis as risk factors for abandonment of therapy for pediatric cancer in Guatemala. This study highlights risk factors for abandonment of therapy and the role of targeted interventions in altering rates of abandonment that could be replicated in other LMIC countries.

Abstract:
Most removal proceedings in U.S. immigration courts result in removal, but research has yet to consider how removal rates vary by nationality and period. Using Executive Office of Immigration Review data, the authors examine the removal rates for the 30 most common national-origin groups in removal proceedings. Honduran, Mexican, Guatemalan, and Brazilian nationals have been ordered removed at rates considerably higher than the population average, while Chinese, Albanian, Egyptian, and Ethiopian nationals experience notably low rates of removal. Additionally, the authors find a general decline in removal rates between 1998 and 2021, with a notable jump in removal rates during the Trump administration. Disaggregating removal rates by nationality and period has important implications for understanding disparities in access to legal resources and immigration enforcement practices.

Abstract:
Background:Pimenta dioica is a native tree of Central America, Southern Mexico, and the Caribbean used in traditional medicine. It grows in wet forests in the Guatemalan departments of Petén and Izabal. Since the plant is not being economically exploited in Guatemala, this study was aimed at determining the composition of the essential oil of P. dioica leaves and fruits and the antibacterial activity of the leaves in order to evaluate its possible use in health products. The essential oils of fruits and leaves are used as rubefacient, anti-inflammatory, carminative, antioxidant, and antiflatulent in different countries. Methods: Fruits and leaves of P. dioica from Izabal Department were collected in April 2014 and extracted by hydrodistillation method. The oils were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Results: Yields of 1.02 ± 0.11% for dried leaves and 1.51 ± 0.26% for fruits were obtained. Eugenol was the main component (65.9–71.4%). The leaf oil showed growth inhibition against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria. Conclusions: The authors consider that the tree’s leaves can be evaluated as a source of ingredients for antiseptic products, and that it is important to evaluate other types of properties such as anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Diarrhea is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children in low and middle income countries (LMICs). Assessing diarrhea etiology in LMICs is of great importance in order to better develop both therapeutic and public health strategies, but is hampered by the complexity of potential diarrheal pathogens, and diverse methodology needed for pathogen identification Methods Subjects 6 to 35 months old with acute, moderate severity, non-bloody diarrhea were enrolled in a diarrheal treatment trial, conducted at one rural (N = 172) and two urban sites (N = 144) in Guatemala. Diarrheal pathogens were determined in stool by multiplex PCR (FilmArray GI® Biofire) which allows simultaneous identification of 23 bacterial, viral, parasitic pathogens. Descriptive statistics on demographics, pathogen load, and differences in pathogen occurrence by site were performed; differences were assessed with t-test and chi2 test Results Nearly all (96.8%) subjects had pathogens identified, and most had multiple potential pathogens identified (mean pathogen count: 2.7 urban and 4.8 rural; P < 0.001 (Figure 1). Notable pathogen differences were observed between rural and urban populations. Bacteria (particularly E.coli pathotypes and Campylobacter) and protozoa (particularly giardia) were more common in the rural population (Figure2). Viral pathogens were either similar or more common (norovirus; P = 0.04) in the urban population; rotavirus was uncommon in both sites (10 rural and 12 urban cases). A similar pattern of pathogen evolution with patient age was noted in both settings, with a decrease in the relative number of viral and increase in parasitic pathogens (Figure 3). Important demographic and socioeconomic differences between rural and urban were noted: rural subjects had poorer nutritional status, underdeveloped water and sanitation facilities and more domestic animal exposure Conclusion Acute diarrheal episodes in Guatemalan children were associated with a complex spectrum of pathogens when determined by multiplex PCR, with distinct patterns in rural and urban populations. Future studies to precisely determine diarrheal etiologies in LMICs will need to incorporate controls to sort causative organisms from those colonizing the intestine.

Abstract:
en mayo de 1954 se efectuó el I Congreso contra la Intervención Soviética en América Latina. El discurso anticomunista desplegado, manifiesto en su doctrina y praxis, fue el preámbulo de la invasión liberacionista que depuso al presidente de Guatemala Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán. Estudio pionero en la temática, para este artículo se revisaron exhaustivamente los documentos de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia y los textos de autores que han estudiado el tema. Se privilegiatanto el ejercicio político de estos agentes como la consolidación de sus ideas y materiales en el devenir histórico de este país. Se concluye que su protagonismo se estableció como un hito en los entrecruces e interacciones con los sujetos y grupos latinoamericanos, afines a su ideología, en el periodo que se insertó la región en el conflicto ideológico global.Abstract: The article describes the participation of the Guatemalan delegation in the 1st Congress against Soviet Intervention in Latin America, held in May 1954. The objective is to articulate itsanti-communist discourse, manifested in its doctrine and praxis, as a preamble to the liberationist invasion that deposed to President Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán. As a pioneering study on the subject, the documents of the Central Intelligence Agency and the texts of authors who have approached the topic were exhaustively reviewed. As a result, the political exercise of these agents is accentuated, as well as the consolidation of their ideas and the materials in the historical development or theircountry. It is added that their protagonism was established as a milestone in the intercrossings and interactions with Latin America subjects and groups, related to its ideology, in the period was inserted into the global ideological conflict.Key words: Anticommunism; Guatemala; Representations; Anticommunist Congress.

Abstract:
The years following World War Two produced a strong resurgence of U.S. intervention in Central America and the Caribbean couched in Cold War terms. Although the U.S. intervention in Guatemala to overthrow the government of Jacobo Arbenz in 1954 has generally been seen as the first case of Cold War covert anti-Communist intervention in Latin America, several scholars have raised questions about U.S. involvement in a 1948 Costa Rican civil war in which Communism played a critical role. In a 1993 article in The Americas, Kyle Longley argued that “the U.S. response to the Costa Rican Revolution of 1948, not the Guatemalan affair, marked the origins of the Cold War in Latin America.” The U.S. “actively interfered,” and achieved “comparable results in Costa Rica as in Guatemala: the removal of a perceived Communist threat.” Other authors have argued, even, that the U.S. had prepared an invasion force in the Panama Canal Zone to pacify the country. The fifty years of Cold War anti-Communism entitles one to be skeptical of U.S. non-intervention in a Central American conflict involving Communism. Costa Ricans, aware of a long tradition of U.S. intervention in the region, also assumed that the U.S. would intervene. Most, if not all, were expecting intervention and one key government figure described U.S. pressure as like “the air, which is felt, even if it cannot be seen.” Yet, historians must do more than just “feel” intervention. Subsequent Cold War intervention may make it difficult to appraise the 1948 events in Costa Rica objectively. Statements like Longley's that “it is hard to believe that in early 1948 … Washington would not favor policies that ensured the removal of the [Communist Party] Vanguard,” although logical, do not coincide with the facts of the U.S. role in the conflict.

Abstract:
Religious congregations regularly take buildings not originally intended for religious use and convert them to spaces for worship and fellowship. This chapter includes five case studies: a Guatemalan evangelical megachurch that worships in a parking garage; a suburban Anglican congregation that transformed a former manufacturing plant; a group in Vermont that turned a former US Army horse barn into a mosque; a suburban non-denominational church that meets each week in a high school auditorium; and an Orthodox Christian congregation that altered a Missouri Synod Lutheran building for their use. The authors argue that a number of religious groups can make spaces work for them, particularly if they have constrained resources and are willing to be creative in changing the interior of structures.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how during the Guatemalan Revolution, the state, in its attempt to foster a more inclusive nation, attempted to define the “permitted Indian” as a modern Indigenous citizen and establish the acceptable behaviors that such a person would adopt. A significant part of this process involved the Instituto Indigenista Nacional’s systematic study of Indigenous populations through ethnography and community surveys. The resulting monographs categorized Indigenous cultures according to the state’s logic in an effort to make these populations more manageable and governable. At the same time, the monographs' authors, often Maya school teachers, used these publications to challenge notions of cultural and racial inferiority. In addition to studying Indigenous communities, the Arévalo administration used literacy campaigns to create a cohesive national identity. Literacy primers and education initiatives reveal how state builders established their ideal model for modern Indian citizenship. Through these, the state promoted its version of modernity, informing readers about the new behaviors and mentalities to adopt, including democratic participation through voting and capitalist economic practices.

Abstract:
This chapter traces the process of a single case of atrocity criminalization—Guatemala in 1973—to further verify the causal mechanisms of the book’s technocratic legal borrowing thesis. It formulates and tests a set of empirical predictions that speak to the observable implications of the theory’s causal mechanisms. Using a combination of primary sources, secondary sources, and elite interviews, it finds strong support for these predictions. First, the idea to include atrocity laws in the 1973 Guatemalan criminal code likely originated with its technocratic author, Gonzalo Menéndez de la Riva, and not with international organizations, civil society organizations, or government policymakers, as alternative theories would predict. Second, two types of influence likely shaped Menéndez de la Riva’s choices to include atrocity laws: (1) the emulation of other codes from the region that were highly regarded among his professional community, and (2) professional ideas about the importance of adopting national atrocity laws that spread to the region through prominent Latin American scholars linked to the International Association of Penal Law. Finally, the Guatemalan government likely approved these laws because they perceived them as low-stakes, technical features of a modernization project, and not because they intended them to appeal to international actors or the political opposition, as alternative theories would predict.

Abstract An increase in financial activity after UNESCO recognition of the Danza del Rabinal Achí, an Achí-Mayan dance-drama declared a Masterpiece of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2005, elicited concerns from both the dancers and the community of Rabinal, Guatemala, that the resulting increase in economic activity surrounding the dance would desecrate its spiritual essence. This chapter examines the relationship between economic value and social values after UNESCO ICH safeguarding intervention to analyze the resulting changes in the dance and its role in Rabinal. The author employs the action theory of value to consider the value systems of the practitioners of this dance drama, the Guatemalan government, and UNESCO, concluding that UNESCO recognition resulted not in the alteration of local values, but rather in the translation of one type of value to another, and, consequentially, greater agency for the dance practitioners. The author proposes that this process may be used to assess the effectiveness of governmental safeguarding efforts on the terms of the practitioners, rather than from the value structure of the interveners, to determine the necessity (or lack thereof) of outside intervention in future efforts toward cultural safeguarding.

The author draws on his wide experience excavating on Cozumel Island and in Yucatan, Belize, and Guatemala to link Chetumal Bay, situated on the eastern edge of the region, to more distant Maya polities across time and space. He follows the themes of waterborne travel, noted in new discoveries at El Achiotal, the precocious early development of a long distance exchange network at Yaxuna and elsewhere, the rise of the El Mirador polity in the Late Preclassic, and the fortunes of the Classic era Kaanal kingdom to link individual site histories to broader historical trends.

The article takes its cue from the description of this case study and focuses on the application of LiDAR technology to fixed-wing VTOL drones beyond the pilot's line of sight. The context presents significant challenges due to the impenetrability and vegetation of the forest, which protects Maya archaeology but is also a major degradation factor. The authors analyzed the benefits and challenges of using LiDAR for spatial archaeology and concerning the new frontiers of digitization.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the structural and lexical features of the Nahuatl dialects spoken in Guatemala in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and it examines their implications for the history of Nahua peoples in the southern piedmont and Pacific coast. Using Spanish and Nahuatl sources, I argue that at least two distinct dialect groups were spoken in Guatemala in the late post-Classic. The first was a Central dialect genetically related to but distinct from varieties spoken in the Valley of Mexico at the time of the Spanish conquest. It was described in artes, which was written by Spanish friars, and attested to in scores of colonial documents authored by Nahuatl scribes in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Some scholars have speculated that it was used as the “lingua franca.” I will argue, however, that there is no solid evidence that the Nahuatl had contact beyond the periphery of the city of Santiago de Guatemala. Unattested in the colonial corpus and first described by Leonhard Schultze-Jena and Lyle Campbell, the second group was an Eastern dialect that was generally called Pipil in the literature. I will also discuss the implications of this as a picture of Nahuatl’s dialectal diversity in Guatemala for our understanding of post-Classic Nahua migrations.

Next, she visits a ranch where immigrants congregate after evading the Falfurrias checkpoint, the Guatemalan Consulate, an offshoot of the Minuteman Project called the Texas Border Volunteers, and the funeral home that received so many of Brooks County’s corpses in 2012, they had to buy another freezer to store them all. Her investigation concludes at Sacred Heart Burial Park in Falfurrias, where she tries in vain to find a trace of the woman in the woods.

Abstract:
This paper assesses the welfare impacts of local investments projects in rural areas of Guatemala. Using census track data from two rounds of the Guatemalan population census, as well as administrative data on investment projects, the authors estimate the impact of education, sanitation, productive, and total investment activities at the village level on measures of welfare. This is the first impact evaluation of social funds in Guatemala, and also the first paper that uses village level data, and both a multi-treatment effect approach and the generalized propensity score with continuous treatments to analyze this type of interventions. The outcome is such that local investment in schools significantly boosts enrollment and investments in water and sewerage significantly improved measures of access to water. The authors also examine the welfare impacts in regards to infant mortality and school progression.

Abstract:
Many public programs and operations by multilateral organisations include technical assistance to the direct beneficiaries of the program in addition to pure financing. However, there is no substantial body of studies that calculates the additional impact; in the sense of exclusively attributable to, of technical assistance on the outcome of interest of the program. In this working paper, the authors propose the use of multi-treatment impact evaluation method -propensity score combined with exact matching for dosage and double difference- for estimating technical assistance's impact. The two cases examined in this study correspond to the Neighbourhood Improvement Program (NIP) of Chile and the Social Investment Fund of Guatemala (SIF). Given the small dollar value of technical assistance relative to the dollar value of transfers not only does technical assistance matter but it is a way of getting more for less.
