Development, Political, and Economic Difficulties in the Caribbean, 1st ed. 2019

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateur : Bissessar Ann Marie

Couverture de l’ouvrage Development, Political, and Economic Difficulties in the Caribbean

This edited volume focuses on the attempts of various Caribbean countries to diversify their economies and societies. It is done in the context of political and economic difficulties that these countries have faced since the 2007-2008 economic crash and how successful they have been in moving their economies in a different direction. The contributors use very distinct levels of analysis in order to provide a nuanced view of diversification efforts in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Cuba, the French Antilles, and the Dutch Antilles. The book will appeal to academic researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and everyone who is interested in the politics and development of the Caribbean region.
