Problemas de la reforma política en la economía haitiana
- English
In the present article we attempt to follow the logic of the predatory state as it has operated in Haiti for more than a century and a half. Thereafter, we point to some of its main consequences, notably the separation of the majority of the population from the decision-making bodies and the macroeconomic morass bequeathed by the government of Jean-Claude Duvalier in 1986. Finally, we provide a brief account of what has taken place since that date, underscoring various reform efforts and setbacks, and discuss the prospects for future economic reform.
