87 p. p., This paper explores the effects of crime and insecurity on well-being -- both happiness and health -- in Latin America and the Caribbean. The authors posited that crime victimization and insecurity would have negative effects on both happiness and health, and having found that they did, tested the extent to which those effects were mitigated by people's ability to adapt to those phenomena.

Notes:
156 p., The reconstruction of Haiti following the earthquake of January 12, 2010 was institutionalized through the creation of the Commission Interimaire pour la reconstruction d'Haiti (Interim Commission for the Reconstruction of Haiti, CIRH). More than a year later, the outlook for human rights in Haiti has not changed despite the great promise and strong rhetoric of change. This study seeks to provide evidence for understanding the many facets of extreme poverty in Haiti from a human rights perspective.

336 p., Chapter 3, "Race and citizenship in the New Republics," examines Brazil, Cuba,
and the United States as three examples of distinct processes of emancipation. The chapter argues that the differences in the nature of slavery in these societies, along with different processes of emancipation, had important implications for the ways that race and citizenship were constituted in post-emancipation societies.

Notes:
335 p., This study offers in-depth discussion and a new approach to interpreting the failure of the nation state and the chronic weakness of economic development in Haiti. It illustrates, through presentations and recommendations, how the road to true democracy and the eradication of endemic poverty in Haiti has to go through the establishment of the rule of law and strong and sustained economic growth.
