Haiti: Trapped in the Outer Periphery

Haiti: Trapped in the Outer Periphery

The inability of the Haitian state to deal with the devastation of the January 2010 earthquake brought into sharp focus Haitiâ€™s desperate social and economic conditionsâ€•and raised perplexing questions. What accounts for the countryâ€™s continuing predicament? Why have repeated attempts at democratic governance failed so abysmally? And what role has the international community played? Addressing these questions, Robert Fatton focuses on Haitiâ€™s long history of predatory rule and also introduces the concept of the outer periphery to explore the impact of a world economy shaped by neoliberal policies. The result is an insightful analysis of contemporary Haitian politics and society with significant implications for the broader study of comparative politics.
