The phenomena of democracy assistance are explored by examining Organization of American States (OAS) efforts to restore and promote democracy in Haiti between 1990 and 2000. The study concluded that marked contradictions emerged as the organization tried top promote a democratic outcome while both supporting and facilitating the workings of a profoundly undemocratic economic and trading system.
