L'expérience démocratique haïtienne au cœur du désert de citoyenneté

(Première partie)

Abstract

This article analyzes the democratic experience in Haiti, drawing on the history of democracy since ancient Greece. Despite the initial enthusiasm following the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship in 1986, Haiti struggles to achieve a true state of democracy. The article examines the challenges faced by Haitian democracy, caught in the trap of peripheralism and the Western narrative imposed by the hegemony of developed countries. In Haiti, democracy is reduced to a procedural parody, with the people maintained in material and spiritual insecurity, lacking genuine sovereignty as political subjects. The Haitian democratic experience thus finds itself at the heart of a citizenship desert.
