Abstract
This working-paper contains a set of reflections about new approaches to the study of the military conflict between Honduras and El Salvador in the year 1969, emphasizing on the political and institutional processes that lead to the conflict. The first part of the paper is a brief reflection on national remembrances of the conflict in both countries Honduras and El Salvador. Afterwards the document addresses the way in which the aforementioned conflict has been studied in the academic realm with special attention on the mass movements of patriotic inspiration in both countries. The paper examines the way in which the political processes related to the conflict had been addresses in two previous works about this armed conflict. Emphasizing the dominant role of the military class in the political systems of the belligerent countries, the author put special interest on the role of the civilians on the way the systems operate. The final part of the paper focus using different perspectives on the causes and motivations that lead to war and about the goal s that El Salvador intended to achieve by the use of violence. The last message of the paper insists on the necessity of the integration of the different historic interpretations and the national remembrances of the conflict.
