Description

“This book…avoids the political debates about Jean-Bertrand Aristide that dominate such a lot of current writings about Haiti. Its focal point is the society itself, the sources of difference, the origins of violence, and the potential for change….The superb work done by the editors has established a high standard for future efforts.” (Terry Copp and John English from the Preface)

Haiti is a country in the middle of a political, economic, ecological, and social crisis. Violence has sabotaged attempts to establish the rule of law, and state infrastructure is notably absent in much of the country, leading to an overall climate of lack of confidence. Haiti: Hope for a Fragile State sheds light on the varied and complex roots of the present crisis, dispels misperceptions, and suggests that the situation in Haiti, regardless of evidence on the contrary, isn’t completely desperate. It brings together diverse perspectives on development, the military, history, NGOs, and politics and discusses the peace-building efforts of the past, suggesting how one can move forward to make Haiti a strong state.
