{"product_id":"9781631172021","title":"Haiti","description":"Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. Since the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship in 1986, Haiti has struggled to overcome its centuries-long legacy of authoritarianism, extreme poverty, and underdevelopment. During that time, economic and social stability improved considerably, and many analysts believed Haiti was turning a corner toward sustainable development. Unfortunately, Haiti's development was set back by a massive earthquake in January 2010 that devastated much of the capital of Port-au-Prince and other parts of the country. Poverty remains massive and deep, and economic disparity is wide: Haiti remains the poorest country in the western hemisphere. This book discusses Haiti's current conditions and congressional concerns under President Martelly; USAID infrastructure projects; testimonies from a hearing on the U.S. aid effectiveness; Haiti 2012 human rights report; and the Haiti 2012 international religious freedom report.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers, Inc (US)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65433046483293,"sku":null,"price":119.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781631172021.jpg?v=1789247059","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781631172021","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
