Political Finance Regulation in Guatemala: A Comparative Survey
As in most Latin American countries,
the funding of political activities has only recently become a matter
of serious concern
in Guatemala. This paper summarily describes the current state of the
Guatemalan political finance laws, their situation vis-à-vis the
regulation of political finance in the rest of Central America and beyond,
and some of the practical consequences derived from the existing framework.
These consequences include, of course, the scandals that have contributed
to attract attention to the topic.
