A barrier to this though is that Haiti continues to be known as a pariah state. A pariah state is a state that is one that is known to be an outcast. These places may even face international isolation, sanctions and it may even come down to an invasion. This can simply be just because another nation don’t like its policies or the fact of pure existence.
Haiti’s subsequent decolonization process from the French (an empire known for its interventionist approach to colonialism) created power vacuums as Frenchmen were expelled and elite dictators came to power, giving rise to even greater socio political turmoil and a long history of authoritarian Haitian regimes.
One big barrier is Haiti having poor political leaders. In many cases, there is lack of false dialogue too, especially where Aristide was concerned and Duvalier were concerned. An example of this would be when Aristide won election in 1966. He gained little legitimacy or credibility. The election was said to be called farcical, meaning it was absurd because of aspects that were ridiculous. Another example would be when President Duvalier extended his presidency in 1961 to another six years. Then in 1964, he sneakily had voters sign off and approve a constitutional change that made Jean-Claude Duvalier president for life.
There are serious challenges in Haiti that people with authority do not take the time to figure out. As late as the year 1915, it was more than 90 percent of the population was illiterate. Almost 55% of the Haitian population lives on $2.61 USD per day, and more than 41% of those fall below the extreme poverty line ($1.23 per day).
SOLUTIONS TO THE EXISTING BARRIERS
Two social movements that might help Haiti are:
Alternative social movements: These seek to foster change for Haiti so that Haitians will hopefully stop facing Anti-Haitian sentiments. Sentiments are different views or attitudes towards a certain thing.
Revolutionary social movements: The people will be able to gain control of Haiti once again because this includes overthrowing the corrupted government for a better chance at gaining control of their state.
