%X in 2009, nicaragua experienced the intensification of three tendencies that nave defined the country's politics since the frente sandinista de liberaci¨®n nacional (fsln), led by daniel ortega, returned to power in january of2007. these tendencies are: the erosion of the fragile democracy that emerged after the collapse of the revolutionary experiment conducted by the fsln in the 1980s; the fragmentation and polarization of nicaraguan society; and, the country's increasing economic and political dependency on the government of hugo chavez and the regional integration project known as alternativa bolivariana para las am¨¦ricas (alba). these three tendencies share a common root: daniel ortegas assumption that the electoral victory of the fsln in november of 2006 represents the beginning a second phase of the sandinista revolution that captured power in 1979 and that carne to an end with the electoral defeat of the fsln in 1990.
