Is democracy in danger in the Dominican Republic? Is the country headed toward sustained one-party rule? In an effort to understand the state of Dominican democracy and rule of law, CSIS Americas Program director Carl Meacham led a six-month initiative to answer these questions. This report, which details the project’s findings, pays particular attention to alleged growing levels of corruption within the government and the independence—and effectiveness—of the country’s judiciary, as well as implications for the Dominican Republic’s relations with the United States.
