Alguns autores identificam que uma importante referência para a compreensão da natureza mutável do comércio internacional e da organização industrial está relacionada à noção de cadeia de valor global. Assim, a dinâmica do capitalismo globalizado faz emergir com destaque o campo de estudos associado às "Cadeias globais de valor". Estudiosos, governos e organizações internacionais acreditam que a integração de atividades nacionais em atividades de escala global pode levar a upgrading econômico que proporciona melhores empregos e melhoria nas condições de vida das populações, entre outras vantagens. Este trabalho mostra que o turismo é uma atividade de escala global e que se caracteriza como um dos maiores setores econômicos de mais rápido crescimento no mundo. Um tipo de turismo que sustenta de maneira crescente esse setor refere-se às atividades dos cruzeiros marítimos, sendo o Caribe, do qual faz parte o Haiti, o primeiro mercado global em termos de chegadas de cruzeiros. Apesar de o Haiti representar um ambiente de instabilidade política e econômica durante décadas, observa-se que algumas de suas atividades econômicas são integradas em cadeias globais de valor. O estudo revela que o Haiti, antes da década de 80, era o primeiro destino turístico do Caribe, e que a partir desta década o turismo balneário haitiano tornou-se crescentemente integrado à cadeia global do turismo representado pelos cruzeiros, notadamente com as atividades da companhia Royal Caribbean, em atuação em Labadee, no norte do país. Enquanto isso, o turismo interno declinou drasticamente, durante várias décadas. Uma integração do turismo interno haitiano na cadeia global de turismo com a construção de vários hotéis de marcas internacionais foi observado só a partir de 2012, dois anos após o terremoto. O trabalho mostra que a forma de integração do Haiti na cadeia global de turismo, especialmente com a atuação da companhia Royal Caribbean em Labadee, não proporciona, realmente, upgrading econômico para o Haiti. Todavia, os projetos presentes e futuros valorizam quase todas as ilhas do Haiti no sentido de uma maior integração do turismo haitiano à cadeia global de valor, reproduzindo a forma de atuação da Royal Caribbean em outros territórios do país. Isso ocorre ao mesmo tempo em que há carência de projetos para uma maior integração do turismo interno do país, mais vinculado à cultura do povo e a outras atividades econômicas. Uma integração maior do tipo de turismo interno haitiano à cadeia global de turismo poderia permitir ao Haiti reter ganhos crescentes.<br> / Abstract : Globalization plays an increasing role in the interdependence between different territories. Some authors identify that an important reference for understanding the changing nature of international trade and industrial organization is related to the notion of the global value chain. Thus, the dynamics of globalized capitalism highlights the field of studies associated with "Global value chains". Scholars, governments and international organizations believe that integrating national activities into global scale activities can lead to economic upgrading that provides better jobs and improved living conditions among populations, among other advantages. This work shows that tourism is a global scale activity and is characterized as one of the largest fastest growing economic sectors in the world. One type of tourism that sustains this sector increasingly refers to the activities of cruise ships, with the Caribbean, which includes Haiti, the first global market in terms of cruise arrivals. Although Haiti represents an environment of political and economic instability for decades, it is noted that some of its economic activities are integrated into global value chains. The study reveals that Haiti, before the 1980s, was the Caribbean's first tourist destination, and that from this decade Haitian seaside tourism has become increasingly integrated with the global tourism chain represented by cruises, notably with the activities of Company Royal Caribbean, operating in Labadee, in the north of the country. Meanwhile, domestic tourism has declined dramatically for several decades. An integration of Haitian domestic tourism into the global tourism chain with the construction of several international brand hotels was only observed from 2012, two years after the earthquake. The work shows that Haiti's integration into the global tourism chain, especially with the Royal Caribbean company in Labadee, does not really provide economic upgrading for Haiti. However, present and future projects value almost every island in Haiti to further integrate Haitian tourism into the global value chain, replicating the way Royal Caribbean operates in other territories of the country. This occurs at the same time that there is a lack of projects for the greater integration of domestic tourism in the country, more linked to the culture of the people and other economic activities. Greater integration of the type of Haitian domestic tourism into the global tourism chain could allow Haiti to withstand increasing gains.

Sendo o Haiti o país mais pobre da América e um dos mais pobres do mundo, edificou-se dentro da pluralidade religiosa e terapêutica os caminhos para tentar alcançar a cura dos processos de adoecimento. A construção do percurso terapêutico dos sujeitos ao perceberem-se doentes, no entanto, além de ser permeada por uma série de conflitos religiosos envolvendo os terapeutas locais é acompanhada pela mais profunda precariedade do sistema público de saúde. Frente a esta realidade, este estudo buscou compreender, por meio de vivências em campo, a construção dos itinerários terapêuticos a partir da articulação entre os saberes, os agentes e as práticas envolvidas no processo saúde/doença no contexto sócio cultural de uma comunidade do Haiti rural. Diante de trajetórias sem muita possibilidade de escolhas eficazes dentro deste sistema, vê-se em cada relato de experiência a violência estrutural como um legado histórico, perpetuado ainda hoje por forças sociais e políticas globais que determinam o risco de adoecer e o viabilidade (ou não) para curar-se das doenças.<br> / Abstract : Among the many points that make the vulnerability of Haitian society transparent, the issues surrounding the health / illness / care process are those that most induce experiences of suffering and the perception of inequality. Haiti, being the poorest country in America and one of the poorest in the world, has been built within the religious and therapeutic plurality of ways to try to achieve a cure for the disease processes. However, in addition to being permeated by a series of religious conflicts involving local therapists, the construction of the therapeutic path of the subjects when they perceive patients is accompanied by the deepest precariousness of the public health system. In the face of this reality, this study sought to understand, through experiences in the field, the construction of therapeutic itineraries based on the articulation between the knowledge, agents and practices involved in the health / disease process in the social and cultural context of a Haitian community rural. Faced with trajectories without much possibility of effective choices within this system, we see in each experience report structural violence as a historical legacy, still perpetuated today by global social and polítical forces that determine the risk of becoming ill and the viability (or ) to cure themselves of diseases.

In examining the opportunities that lie within the larger context of Haitian development efforts, mending the strained environment upon which Haiti’s fragile rural agricultural sector depends must be a priority. Though related to other pieces of the Haitian reconstruction puzzle, the question of mending the Haitian environment comes down largely to the best way trees can be incorporated into Haiti’s existing agricultural systems. With this in mind, the purpose of this thesis was to complete an analysis of the work and practices of the community organizations of Borgne, Haiti. The organizations of Borgne have mobilized toward environmental development and the preservation of remaining natural resources through a community-wide tree-planting initiative that provides thousands of trees per year to local residents. Beyond an ethnographic assessment, this thesis explores greater implications of the project as a grassroots development model that may potentially be replicated by other communities and organizations throughout Haiti. Field research was completed on site in Borgne in the summer months of 2010. The primary methods employed in data collection were Participatory Action Research and semi-structured interviewing.

For years, scholars have investigated the effectiveness of aid dollars. Some scholars measure aid effectiveness at the country level in terms of achieving good governance, promoting democratic accountability, accomplishing growth goals, or attaining macroeconomic goals. This study looks at the aid flowing through nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). It posits that effective aid consists of resources and processes that promote sustainability. It attempts to uncover the meaning of sustainability for the NGOs and recipients that are involved in agriculture while surveying how the aid process works. It looks at NGOs and recipients, resource flow, and activities, and sought to understand the elements that could render aid more or less effective in achieving sustainability in agricultural sectors. This study uses a qualitative case study research strategy that focused on developing theory/hypotheses grounded in the data and the literature (Agranoff, Radin, & Perry, 1991). This approach is adopted because (a) the meaning and promotion of sustainability is a complex topic, (b) aid effectiveness is a multi-faceted puzzle, (c) NGOs represent a diverse group, (d) the collaborative process is complicated, and (e) the context (Haiti) is a challenging place. It uses a data triangulation process (Denzin, 1989, 1997) by combining different types of data and sources (personal interviews, observations, and documentation) to arrive at a convergent understanding of the elements that are more or less likely to influence the NGO aid process in the promotion of sustainability in agriculture. This study finds that most NGOs and recipients focus on one or two dimensions of sustainability (economic or environmental); the social or cultural dimensions are somewhat neglected. I also find that funding and funding horizons are two of the major issues that impede the promotion of sustainability in addition to communication and collaboration in the design of the plans, execution, and follow-up. Recipient education, paternalistic attitude, and poverty levels also play a major role in promoting sustainability. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
