Examining the limits of Haiti's "democratic revolution," Alex Dupuy explores why the successive military governments between 1986 and 1990 were unable to implement neoliberal economic reforms and analyzes the popular democratic movement that challenged the military and led to the election of Aristide. Dupuy considers Aristide's political thought and practice; opposition from the Catholic Church, the Haitian bourgeoisie, and the military; and causes of the military coup d'Γ―ΒΏΒ½tat in 1991. He pinpoints why, in a clear policy shift, the United States opposed a coup against the radical populist president and discusses the implications for the democratic process of military intervention and the adoption of the neoliberal model.
