Post-Civil War San Salvador: Social Inequalities of Household and Basic Infrastructure in a Central American City
基于圣萨尔瓦多家庭调查数据，用回归模型分析家庭与基本基础设施的不平等，探讨内战后的社会重建与政治民主化挑战，对研究中美洲城市有参考价值。
Abstract Problems of social inequality and poverty remain daunting in post-civil war El Salvador. The challenges of social rebuilding and political democratisation in the capital city of San Salvador inform this paper's analysis of a sample survey on inequalities of household and basic infrastructure. The analysis places San Salvador at the nexus of two comparative-theoretical frameworks: cities, basic infrastructure and world economy; and political economy of livelihoods. For eventual comparison with other Central American cities, the paper uses regression models to depict household configurations of macro-structural and socio-institutional assets with regard to inequalities of selected components of basic infrastructure. The discussion explores implications for Salvadoran post-civil war social reconstruction as well as for comparative research on Central American cities.
