A complete understanding of Haiti’s history requires a tripartite framework, tracking and theorizing participation of three general sets of actors: foreign powers, the state, and Haiti’s people. Furthermore, while Haiti is a particularly dramatic example, binary logics within theories of globalization and civil society need to be replaced with a tripartite framework. This article provides a model for other scholars interested in a rich understanding of globalization and civil society, presenting a calculus that allows for a conversation between these theoretical constructs.
