Summary

"Haiti: Hope for a Fragile State sheds light on the varied and complex roots of the current crisis, dispels misperceptions, and suggests that the situation in Haiti, despite evidence to the contrary, is not completely desperate. Inspired by a 2005 conference co-hosted by the University of Waterloo's Centre for Foreign Policy, the Academic Council on the United Nations System (ACUNS), the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), and the Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies (LCMSDS), this book brings together diverse perspectives on development, the military, history, NGOs, and politics and discusses the peace-building efforts of the past, suggesting ways to move forward to make Haiti a strong state."--Jacket.
