27 p, "This paper analyzes autonomy regimes in Latin America, or rather the lack thereof....Nicaragua is one of the few countries in the region (as well as one of the first) where territorial political autonomy for regions inhabited by Afro-descendant and indigenous groups were [sic] adopted by the national state and enshrined at the level of constitutional law."--Abstract.
