The Difficult Transition from Duvalierism to Democracy in Haiti

From Haitian Duvalier Rhythm to Difficult Transition from Democracy Haiti is traditionally the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, suffering from poor resource management and elite corruption. Duvalier's rule concentrated the wealth of the Duvalier family and its political ally Duvalier. This is the way that Haiti has managed since independence in 1804. A rich French-speaking elite who governs the oligarchy and dictatorship regime to rule the poor speaks the Creole.

The transition to Haiti's strong democracy is important to the United States, as its autocratic history is part of the past, not the future. Strong democratic systems, especially periodic free and fair elections, help keep Haiti's democratic tradition and ensure that Haitian people express their views on governance. Currently, there are democratically elected Presidents who took office on 7 February 2017 in Haiti. The commitment to democracy and the rule of law ensures that human rights and fundamental freedoms are better protected. The stability and predictability of these institutions is important for the sustained economic growth of Haiti and the attraction of necessary foreign investment.

In the face of increased inequality and exclusion, Haiti clearly reminds people of vulnerability of election democracy. After the collapse of Duvalier dictatorship in 1986, the vast majority of Haiti's poor people finished the election, but the cycle seems to have collapsed. Today, Haiti is the world's lowest in terms of voter participation. Why do the Haitians lose confidence in election democracy? Of course, the influence of foreign intervention, the repressive limitation of neoliberalism, and the factor of economic stability against democracy have all played a role. The disappointment and betrayal of political leaders who tilted to the left, which consisted of Haiti's former powerful popular movements only exacerbate this indifference.

The road to democracy in Haiti was difficult due to poverty, corruption, and devastating earthquakes that struck the country in 2010. The people are dissatisfied with the fact that the government has not improved their daily lives, and the majority of the population including women is almost eliminated from politics. These problems and other problems hurt the public's trust in Haitian democratic system and hinder its effectiveness. Several examples occurred in 2011 when the differences between the Haitian regime and political parties delayed the election until October 2015. International supervisory authorities such as the US National Organization believe that this process has been significantly improved over the previous elections, but the results have been questioned by some people.
