This work examines the reasons why agreement was not reached between the United States and Nicaragua between 1979 and 1990. The traditonal US hegemonic approach was applied to the Sandinista revolutionary government which the Reagan administration wanted out of power. Washington's responses to the various attempts at finding a diplomatic solution were to block agreement where possible, but concurrently demonstrate support for diplomacy to encourage Congressional support for the ongoing low intensity conflict.
