Join guest host Hans Roy this Friday at 9PM as he tackles the concept of a sovereign Haiti in today's world.
Hans Roy's Synopsis: As we moved towards the end of the 20th Century, many
believed the idea of the nation state would become the norm, yet the
Post Soviet Union and Post 9/11 world displayed just the opposite.
Unipolar, with one Super Power, the world seemed like a very dangerous
place for small countries, especially those with resources, unless of
course, they were loyal to the Super Power, the bully on the block.
Recently, Paul Craig Roberts, who served as Assistant Secretary under
Reagan, called European countries "Vassal States" when it comes to their
foreign policy. If this is true, how do less powerful countries maintain any semblance of sovereignty? Do
Haitians today really care about becoming a sovereign state? Is it
something that we will see in our lifetime?
We will also get a brief overview from Hugues Girard? of the recent
protests in Arcahaie against another looming land grab which would
redistrict a whole portion of the town under the name Arcadins.
