Building 'low-intensity' democracy in Haiti : the OAS contribution 

 -  2004 
<br/><br/> Examines the Organization of American States' (OAS) efforts to restore and promote democracy in Haiti between 1990 and 2000.  Reveals that marked contradictions emerged as the organisation tried to promote a democratic outcome while both supporting and facilitating the workings of a profoundly undemocratic economic and trading system.  Concludes by reflecting on the fall of the country's president Jean-Bertrand Aristide.  Examines the role of the OAS and other international actors in shaping events leading up to the collapse of his government.
