On identifie encore parfois le capitalisme à la démocratie. Dans cet article consacré aux transformations politiques et aux restructurations économique connues par Haïti depuis le coup d’État de 2004, Jeb Sprague-Silgado tord le cou à ce préjugé tenace. Il y montre en effet comment, dans un contexte d’intégration croissante de l’économie caribéenne à la mondialisation, la bourgeoisie transnationale utilise les forces paramilitaires pour asseoir sa domination sur l’appareil d’État haïtien. La violence armée exercée contre les classes populaires apparaît ainsi comme une pièce essentielle de l’hégémonie bourgeoise.
network is coming into existence worldwide. This notion rests upon the idea that a dominant social force, a transnational capitalist class (TCC), propels globalization through transnational corporations (TNCs) (Robinson & Harris 2000). The TCC, to promote and ensure its power, requires a concomitant political project. Such a political project would involve, for example: (i) promoting investor confidence in the global economy, (ii) setting up mechanisms and institutions for responding to economic, political, and military crises that threaten the stability necessary for global markets, and (iii) establishing a degree of macroeconomic policy uniformity across borders.
