Abstract
International Relations and Security: The Dominican-Haitian Case
Rafael David Sánchez Gómez
The international relations between the Dominican Republic and Haiti have been historically marked since colonial times by disagreements, either by the conflicts inherent to the imperial struggles of the metropolises to which both colonies belonged, or by the struggles for territorial spaces or definition of their borders during the republican era of both territories. With this work as an essay, we will try to make a revealing journey within the framework of the Dominican-Haitian diplomatic relations and its impact in the border zone, trying to understand it as a methodological way of intercultural dialogue between the peoples in search of a culture of peace.
In this way, ...we set some questions such as these: What measures or actions to take between both states would contribute to the improvement of their diplomatic relations or which public security policies would have an integral impact on the concept of human security of all its inhabitants, ...beyond the traditional conception of public security or citizen security in both states.
Key Words: Dominican-Haitian relations, diplomatic relations, social policies, public policies, border controls.
