Abstract

El Salvador is a country geographically small, but of great geopolitical interest for both Central America and Latin America as a whole. Its relevance comes mainly from its geostrategic location in the middle of the American continent. Historical events have not been very favorable during the 20th century: it has suffered massacres, war between countries, civil war, as well as growth, expansion and practically the domination of many territories by gangs (maras). On the other hand, the business opportunities that have opened in a globalized world are great, and El Salvador as a country and as a government is knowing how to respond to these new circumstances of the regional and global scenery, but also investors and entrepreneurs can take advantage of the competitive conditions that El Salvador offers.
