Abstract
The Nicaraguan Revolution ended nearly fifteen years ago, however, the political, economic, and cultural effects resulting from the war continue. These effects are keenly felt in the border regions of Costa Rica. Border regions are frequently turbulent because within them 70% of the world’s smallest wars are fought. These wars bring with them many problems including drug and arms trafficking, casualties, refugees and displaced peoples . The border region between Nicaragua and Costa Rica is unique in that many aspects of the Nicaraguan Revolution carry over and continue to effect individual and general perceptions of Nicaraguans in Costa Rica.
