Kühler Realismus ist die Feststellung, das mittlerweile rund 70% aller in Lateinamerika ansässigen, international agierenden Unternehmen Programme zur „Sozialen Unternehmensverantwortung“ eingerichtet haben. Wie magischer Realismus scheint die Tatsache, dass man im Oktober 2008 in Managua, Nicaragua zu Fuß von einem Zeltlager unheilbar kranker Bananenplantagenarbeiter aufbrechen konnte, um wenig später in einem Zeltlager unheilbar kranker Zuckerplantagenarbeiter anzukommen. Obwohl die BewohnerInnen beider Lager aus derselben Gegend, dem Westen Nicaraguas stammten, lag eine Generation und die Entdeckung der „Sozialen Unternehmensverantwortung“ zwischen ihnen.

From the distance of exile we see this country

It is a small country, which does not reach 10 million inhabitants. It is part of the group of countries that are south of Mexico, a region known as Central America right in the center of the continent. Due to its location, it is considered a strategic base for the control that the United States has in the region, highlighting the paramilitary army called “La Contra” that was formed in southern Honduras in the 1980s, in response to the Sandinista Revolution that occurred in Nicaragua. Currently, Honduras is suffering the consequences of a century of military governments, linked to the foreign policy of the United States.
