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'�tat 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.
