Hamstrung over Haiti: Returning the Refugees
Ortmayer, Louis L. and Joanna Flynn

ISBN: 1-56927-355-3 | Published: 1993 | No. Pages: 25

Following the September 1991 military overthrow of the first democratically elected Haitian president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the United States in conjunction with the Organization of American States, imposed an embargo on the nation to coerce the junta into restoring democracy and power to President Aristide. This case (1) highlights a situation in which foreign policy goals and instruments are in tension and even contradiction, (2) explores the options available to a new administration and the task of reconciling refugee and immigration policies with the foreign policy goals of restoring democracy in Haiti and promoting democratic transitions in a new world order, and (3) examines the tortuous evolution of Haiti policy under the Clinton administration.
