Urban Solidarity, Local Governance and Territorial Resilience in Haiti: Reclaiming the Territory
暫譯: 海地的城市團結、地方治理與區域韌性：重拾領土

This book examines urbanization in Haiti as a laboratory of crisis and resilience, where the absence of state capacity collides with the creativity of grassroots actors. It reveals how communities, women, and youth mobilize solidarity, informal practices, and everyday governance to compensate for failing institutions and fragmented planning.

Through case studies of informal settlements, vernacular infrastructures, and survival economies, the book shows how urban residents produce their own forms of security, social innovation, and collective organization. These practices challenge conventional understandings of sovereignty and territorial authority while opening pathways toward more inclusive urban futures.

Combining urban studies, political geography, and development theory, it proposes a new vision of territorial governance that values local knowledge, shared sovereignties, and grassroots planning. Offering insights relevant across the Global South, this book appeals to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in debates on urban resilience, postcolonial governance, and territorial justice.
