The Rise and Fall of Marcha Verde in the Dominican Republic
The Marcha Verde movement emerged in 2017 to protest bribery on the part of the Brazilian transnational Odebrecht. It conducted 25 protests in the provinces and large marches in July 2017 and August 2018 but ultimately failed to force the government to try those responsible. As a movement for the democratization of democracy through the construction of citizens' rights, it was a watershed moment in Dominican political history. However, it did not…
What Happens to Social Movements When They Succeed
A political opportunity structure that emerged in the Dominican Republic between 2009 and 2012 facilitated the victory of a movement that forced the government to begin spending 4 percent of the gross domestic product on preuniversity education, but the movement was unable to develop a social base that would ensure the effective implementation of its demand. This case suggests that a movement's success in reaching its formal goal is just the firs…
In Search of the Subject of Change
Great books enable us to reflect on the subject matter under study and lead to the reading of others that expand our understanding and deepen our knowledge. They also make us think about the state of our profession and the way it has been shaped by open debates. More important, great works make us revisit issues and theories studied in the recent past and take a fresh look at topics we thought we understood. This is what the Dominican-born sociol…
State and Society in the Dominican Republic
This book offers an analysis of the formation of the Dominican state and explores the development of state-society relations since the late nineteenth century. Emelio Betances argues that the groundwork for the establishment of a modern state was laid during the regimes of Ulises Heureaux and Ramà ̄¿Â1⁄2à ̄¿Â1⁄2res. The U.S. military government that followed later expanded and strengthened political and administrative centralization. Between 1886…

The Dominican Grassroots Movement and the Organized Left, 1978-1986
Through their struggles for better services, grassroots movements played a large role in the process of democratization and construction of social citizenship in the Dominican Republic. The modern grassroots movement, especially in relation to the uprising of April 1984, challenged the government's neoliberal policies and opened the way for the emergence of an independent movement that confronted both left-wing parties and organized labor. Howeve…

The Catholic Church and Political Mediation in the Dominican Republic

State and Society in the Dominican Republic
Social Classes and the Origin of the Modern State
Social and political structures established in the Caribbean and Central America in the early 20th century continue to have an impact on the current development of the region. Yet historical case studies of the formation of the region's modern state have been rare. Most studies have assessed economic structures and general political development. This study complements that tradition by providing an in-depth historico-sociological analysis of the …
