Bill:
Conciliation Resources, a London-based conflict resolution NGO, publishes
Accord. It is a periodical report on specific conflic scenarios which provides
lots of background information on each one, in a very comprehensive and
systematic manner. One of the recent issues of Accord is related to the
conflict in Guatemala, and it has been published both in English and in
Spanish.
You might want to look into Conciliatiopn Resources' Web Page:

I'll be glad to keep in touch with you for further suggestions on the subject.
