The tumultuous politicoeconomic situation in Haiti is examined, focusing on barriers to & strategies for democratization. It is contended that long-established structures of domination -- ie, social polarization, structural weaknesses of the means of production, foreign hegemony -- have frustrated the development of democracy in Haiti, & that the state's authoritarian & archaic institutions are incapable of addressing the needs of the country's development or people. A brief political history of Haiti is given, & it is concluded that democratization in Haiti is contingent on solving the problems of production, accumulation, & the distribution of wealth. W. Howard
