This book explores the complex interdependence between the small
Caribbean states and the United States and looks at their changing
relationships throughout history. The main difficulty for the small
state is to discern where and when synergies may be found in its
relations with more powerful states--in this case, the United
States. The need for cooperation among the less powerful states,
for sharing interests and values, must be combined with respect on
both sides for democratic and human rights.The author traces the
history of these relationships from 1823 to the end of the Cold
War, then examines the U.S. response to the Marxist challenge. He
then turns to an investigation of different aspects of modern
Caribbean relations, such as the problems of drug trafficking,
offshore interests, and migration. The book concludes with a
discussion on the limits to sovereignty and the challenges that
have evolved in U.S.-Caribbean studies.
