Zusammenfassung

This article analyses some socio-economic, political and ideological characteristics of the members of parliament of four Central American countries (Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Honduras). This analysis tries to define the degree to which political parties have elitist or non-elitist social characteristics. On the basis of that analysis, this article distinguishes among some political party ideal-types. Finally, this article links the specific characteristics of each Central American political party to the political trajectory of each Latin American society.
