Charting Caribbean Development (Published in Cooperation With Macmillan Caribbean, Ltd)

This book offers an urgent commentary on the experience of Caribbean development in the postcolonial era, a critical discussion of the current crisis of globalization in the region. Specifically, it examines the different national models of development that have been pursued in the past forty years in Anglophone Caribbean countries such as Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, & Grenada. In addition, the coauthors address problems of integration & examine the region's main external linkages to Europe & North America that affect its development opportunities. They also present remarkably lucid accounts of the complex & tangled issue of the banana controversy, the role of U.S. fruit multinationals, & the role of the World Trade Organization in addressing these sorts of issues. Not only for Caribbean specialists, this book will be valuable for those concerned with international political economy & development problems generally.Paul Sutton is the author of 'Charting Caribbean Development (Published in Cooperation With Macmillan Caribbean, Ltd)', published 2001 under ISBN 9780813020921 and ISBN 0813020921.
