Abstract

Describes the people, culture, history, social structure, and political upheavals, traces its transition from a one crop economy to a diversified industrial base, examines efforts to strengthen its economy, and looks at the political institutions and processes that have evolved since the assassination of Trujillo in 1961. Then, focusing on public policy and the many interrelated processes of national development, it discusses the government's attempts to balance industrial and agricultural development and to provide social welfare and achieve financial solvency. Concludes with an analysis of the Dominican Republic in the international sphere. -from Publisher
