Abstract:
AbstractThis article is an attempt to draw attention to the nature of the assistance model of state reconstruction and its significance for the UN system. Traditional international legal doctrine identifies valid state consent with an effective domestic government. Moreover, effective control remains the means for applying the legal right of self-determination for the population of a state as a whole. Nonetheless, a frequently adopted paradigm for large-scale international involvement in the reconstruction of an ineffective state operates through the consent of an ineffective government. The a

Abstract:
This paper aims to explore new trends in Brazilian refugee and migratory law in the last 20 years. In doing so it addresses the evolution of the definition of “refugee” in Brazil, expanding the eligibility grounds provided by the 1951 Geneva Convention on the Status of Refugees (1951 Convention). Reviewing international and regional refugee law, the article analyzes the broader understanding of the notion of "refuge" and its complexity expressed in regional and national legal frameworks, taking account of lawyers, scholars and activists who criticize the narrow scope of the classical refugee d

Abstract:
In the late 1990s, like many other developing countries, Haiti started a process of devolving responsibilities over irrigation scheme management to water users’ associations. In this paper, a three-step methodology for institutional analysis is applied to investigate the functioning of this new setting in Haiti, using three irrigation schemes managed by farmers as case studies. First, the institutional structures are described using an adapted version of the Institutional Decomposition and Analysis framework. Secondly, the efficiency of the institutional structures is assessed against a set of

Abstract:
Depuis une trentaine d'années, le système judiciaire en Haïti s'est considérablement fragilisé. Les juridictions font face à des dysfonctionnements permanents qui entravent leur bonne marche. Cette fragilisation s'inscrit dans le contexte plus vaste d'un pays confronté à des difficultés politiques, économiques et sociales. La complexité de la situation juridictionnelle en Haïti a ainsi d'importantes incidences sur l'effectivité des droits de la défense, notamment en matière civile. Malgré certaines avancées normatives, les garanties procédurales des parties an cours d'un procès ne sont pas suf

Abstract:
Commanding a vast historiography of slavery and emancipation, Aline Helg reveals as never before how significant numbers of enslaved Africans across the entire Western Hemisphere managed to free themselves hundreds of years before the formation of white-run abolitionist movements. Her sweeping view of resistance and struggle covers more than three centuries, from early colonization to the American and Haitian revolutions, Spanish American independence, and abolition in the British Caribbean. Helg not only underscores the agency of those who managed to become "free people of color" before aboli

Abstract:
Abstract Crime Fiction in the Caribbean is the first academic book to focus on crime fiction by anglophone Caribbean writers. Covering novels set in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Guyana, Barbados, Grenada, and Haiti, it explores how contemporary writers experiment with the crime genre in order to convey, contextualize, and comment on crime and justice in Caribbean countries. Crime fiction is presented as a versatile mode of writing that can be politically engaged, and that—in a Caribbean context—can expose power structures embedded in the region’s multi-layered history of colonial conquest, ge

Abstract This chapter focuses on US foreign policy and governmental responses to Haitian asylum-seekers arriving in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s that included detention in prisons and jails, interdiction on the high seas, and attempts to deter migration through free trade and foreign aid policies. It also introduces forms of refugee and public protest against detention, interdiction, and systematic denial of Haitian asylum claims.

Chapter 4 explains how the government’s blanket detention policy came about and why the Haitian-only detention policy was subsequently expanded to include all inadmissible aliens. This chapter charts the growth of the new detention system in its first decade, including the introduction and use of the first private, for-profit prisons in the United States. In addition, chapter 4 illustrates the wide-ranging resistance movement that developed alongside the growing detention system, documenting the role played by detainees as well as their allies in the streets, courtrooms, and halls of Congress.

The second chapter of Ti difé boulé explores the history of the infamous French colonial Code Noir, or Black Code, of 1685 and how it operated on slave society. With Grinn Prominnin arriving to discuss colonial times in Saint-Domingue, the book presents an outline of the hierarchies of power within the former French colony. The Black Code buttressed white plantation owners, the French commissioners, businessmen and foreign investors at the expense of the enslaved people who were permanently trapped in apocalyptic conditions.

Abstract Elections in Latin America are held under sharply differing circumstances, ranging from civil war in El Salvador to the peaceful routines that characterize Venezuela. They may be conducted with scrupulous attention to legal regulations, as in Costa Rica, or with flagrant violations of all such codes as in the recent elections in Haiti. Within the same country, elections in the modern urban areas may resemble a modern North American campaign while in the backward rural areas the politics of clientelism and patronage largely determine and deliver votes.
