Page vii Preface Haiti's Last Best Chance Robert I. Rotberg The ecstatic election of charismatic President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1990, his American-supported restoration to office in 1994, and the peaceful election in 1995 of President Ren Prval collectively were harbingers of a radically new and promising era in Haitian political and economic life. For the first time in Haiti's 190-year-old independent tradition, men of and chosen by the majority of Haiti's people had gained power and attained their positions legally and peacefully. Aristide and Prval are populists, with agendas as leaders that are much more forward looking than those of any of their predecessors, especially the three-decade-long dictatorships of Francois and Jean-Claude Duvalier and the several military juntas that followed the Duvaliers (and interrupted Aristide's presidency). Prval has the opportunity, rarely afforded to his predecessors, of reconstructing and remolding the Haitian state, raising Haitian living standards, and creating a new political culture of democracy and tolerance. The modern future of his country, and the success of Haiti's last best chance to break its chains of poverty, desperation, and deprivation, depend on the choices that he and his colleagues make during his five-year term of office.
