The Caribbean economy remains a region with many paradoxes. Despite
a relative abundance of natural and valuable resources, including
its people, large segments of the region still grapple with
significant levels of debt, environmental degradation, high
unemployment in the formal sector, climate change, limited progress
in technological innovation, increasing energy costs, remittance
dependency, tourism dependency, loss of correspondent banking
relations, exchange rate, noncommunicable diseases, and domestic
politics to name more than a few. The poorest countries still lag
and remain far more vulnerable to external factors related to trade
and global financial sector issues. This edited volume takes a
closer look at the contemporary issues related to the economies of
the Caribbean. The book provides an added dimension in that each of
the chapters includes the contributions of a scholar with lived
experiences in and knowledge of the region. Indeed, the book
underscores the detailed evidence-based research and perspectives
on topics providing insights into the current landscape of the
Caribbean. Ultimately, understanding the Caribbean in its varied
contexts is an important milestone in pursuing policies that will
contribute to flourishing economies replete with sustained growth
and development.
