Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic September 2004 Libro Maria E 9/18/04 1:02 PM Page 7 Prologue Is it possible to establish some sort of connection between the national development of a country and its population residing abroad? What can be done in the Dominican Republic to promote policies that are mutually beneficial for the population residing abroad and for those located within its own boundaries? At the dawn of the 21st century, the answers to these questions serve to foster new ideas, values, and principles relating to the concept of development in a world characterized by migratory flows and interdependence. Considering the fact that the Dominican Republic has over a million of its nationals abroad, that is, approximately 10 percent of its population, most of them concentrated in the United States, and particularly in New York, it seemed appropriate to address these concerns on how to better link this population abroad with the nation’s hopes for development and progress. That is precisely the intent of this book, to convey the message that proper conditions must be established in order to take advantage, as a community, of the potential wealth of our diaspora. The New York-Dominican Republic Strategic Alliance Project was conceived as an initiative sponsored by the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development, and relied on the enthusiastic support of the CUNY Dominican Studies Institute at City College, the Earth Institute at Columbia University, and other academic institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), business associations, and community leaders. The goal was to analyze, discuss, and formulate a series of proposals to strengthen relations between Dominican Republic and New York, and to facilitate the overall development of our community. The result has been a compilation of research papers conducted by the participating constituencies of the New York community. The implementation of this project is based on the assumption that all effective development of a modern society rests on its ability to integrate and incorporate all individuals and social sectors capable of fostering the necessary actions and mobilizing resources to achieve economic growth and social welfare. Since the research began, almost two years ago, we have worked continuously to create the basis for a permanent dialogue between our people living in the Dominican Republic and New York, and to promote a constant flow of exchanges in the educational, scientific, cultural, and business areas, as well as professional services. The working groups and initial research focused on the following areas: Migration and Labor Force; Health; Education; Cultural Development; Economic Development; Remittances; Science and Technology; Sports; Civic Participation and Leadership Development. 7 Libro Maria E 9/18/04 1:02 PM Page 8 In general, the studies produced on the impact of the diaspora on the economic relations with the country of origin are few, and most of the literature refers to remittances. We believe that the research presented in this book will open the door to a permanent and constant production of research that will enrich the foundations established in this project. The first section of each paper offers a diagnosis of the reality of the Dominican community. The second section includes a series of recommendations for public policies and exchange projects. Migration, particularly to the United States, constitutes a natural gateway for thousands of Dominicans in a society like ours, where so many matters are still pending. Nonetheless, it serves as an important asset to increase the diverse relations required to achieve full development in the contemporary world. Given the previously described situation, we must become familiar with all migration laws in the United States that affect us, in order to determine how to respond effectively. What can be done to ensure that the repatriation process of Dominicans from the United States complies with the necessary respect for human rights standards, while guaranteeing the needs for national security of both countries? The following pages reflect the criteria established by the working group involved in the analysis of these issues. Of unquestionable importance as well is the need to determine whether our community has real access to quality healthcare services, both in New York and the Dominican Republic. We already know that we face serious common health problems, e.g. combating HIV/AIDS, a virus with devastating effects. Under this context, studies and exchanges acquire special relevance in fostering the improvement of our knowledge of these diseases that trespass all geographical boundaries and, at the same time, are so devastating to our society as a whole. One might also ask: Do we know what are our students’ needs in the US? How are our young emigrants integrated into the educational system of the United States? Which study areas offer the best opportunities for their incorporation into the work force? We must determine whether our young generations are fully aware of their unique cultural background, or whether, as a result of the inevitable globalization of ideas and social integration, a different culture is emerging that could be classified as Dominican-American in this particular case. The group assembled for the research on commerce and investment issues has indicated that even though the Dominican and Latino population represent an important ethnic market, the level of business transactions between New York and the Dominican Republic is weak, despite its immense potential. Within that context, the group also presents a comprehensive analysis on ethnic/transnational entrepreneurs and successful initiatives of other diasporas, as well as on management of investment availability and innovative ideas to foster economic exchange between both locations. 8 Libro Maria

During the First World War, the United States invaded and occupied Santo Domingo in an attempt to maintain hegemony in the Western Hemisphere. Dominican intellectuals in the capital city utilized baseball in their nation- building endeavor, seeking to prove that not only were they capable of performing their own westernization, but that Santo Domingo was the modern heir of ancient Athens in the New World. iii TABLE

    Four of the top players in school history are depicted here including Charles Smith, Don Hennon, Billy Knight and Jerome Lane. Smith, Hennon and Knight are the three Pitt players to have their jerseys retired. All three have found success beyond basketball as Hennon became a medical doctor, Knight serves as General Manager for the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks and Smith, following a productive NBA career, is a successful businessman and chairman of the Charles D. Smith Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing a positive alternative for today’s youth. An NBA veteran, Lane is shown here throwing down his backboard shattering dunk against Providence on Jan. 25, 1988. “Send it in Jerome!” proclaimed ESPN broadcaster Bill Raftery minutes after Lane’s thunderous dunk prompted a 30-minute delay in the game. Pitt went on to claim a 90-56 victory, then went on to capture the 1987-88 Big East regular season title. The game is forever labeled as the “Night the House Came Down.” RECORDS & ACHIEVEMENTS NATIONAL HONORS Charles Smith, H.M., 1987-88 BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME The Sporting News Naismith Memorial Basketball Brandin Knight, 2ndTeam, 2001-02 Hall of Fame Henry Clifford “Doc” Carlson, M.D., Scripps Howard News Service Elected, 1959 Charles Smith, 1st Team, 1987-88 Charley Hyatt, Elected, 1959 USBWA All-America Helms Athletic Foundation Hall of Jerome Lane, 2nd Team, 1987-88 Fame Henry Clifford “Doc” Carlson, M.D. NABC All-America Don Hennon, Inducted, 1970 Don Hennon, 2nd Team, 1957-58 Charley Hyatt Don Hennon, 2nd Team, 1958-59 Billy Knight,
