Yet many critics, both in Nicaragua and in the U.S. Congress, saw\nher commitment to keeping the peace within the Nicaraguan national family as slowing the pace of\npolitical, institutional, and economic reform in the early years of her seven-year term. During the\nlast two years, however, Nicaragua began to develop the institutions that contribute to a pluralist\nsystem. Primary U.S. concerns have been the development of democracy and of the economy, and\nthe settlement of property claims. U.S. aid was given to promote fair elections on October 20, 1996. \nChamorro transferred power to the newly-elected president, Arnoldo Aleman, on January 10, 1997.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": false, "formats": [ { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/96-813", "sha1": "fec4dc76b50caba6f47b04fc4c431bef7ec1bc78", "filename": "files/19970516_96-813_fec4dc76b50caba6f47b04fc4c431bef7ec1bc78.pdf", "images": null }, { "format": "HTML", "filename": "files/19970516_96-813_fec4dc76b50caba6f47b04fc4c431bef7ec1bc78.html" } ], "topics": [] } ], "topics": [ "Foreign Affairs", "Latin American Affairs", "National Defense" ] }
