Embargo sur Haïti

"Evaluates the adverse impact of the recent international embargo on the Haitian economy. Argues that the embargo drove the population into hunger and misery and that, in a struggle to survive, inflicted great damage on the natural environment. The authors think that the national economy can recover quickly and even grow significantly if the international community awards massive financial aid to the country. Concludes that the transformation of the behaviors and attitudes of Haitians themselves remains the most important determinant of economic growth and development of the country"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
