      abstract = {This book historically reconstructs the conservative and  moderate liberals views on governance, morality and  education within the context of La Regeneracion (1878-1903)  in Colombian Panama. de la Guardia Wald explores the way  political theories and ideologies, especially conservatism  and positivism, shaped late nineteenth-century Panamanian  pedagogues conceptualizations of proper education for the  sake of social regeneration. By demonstrating that Isthmian  political and pedagogical debates went beyond the  preoccupation for the realisation of classic liberalism and  exploitation of Panamas geographical views, this book  challenges the perspective that Panamanian identity was a  fabrication of the United States. Instead, this study  reveals that the combination of positivist and conservative  understandings of morality, reason and good science defined  governmental policies intended to recuperate and enhance  civic values and nationalism, leading the way to progress  and modernity.},
