Illustrated by case studies from both smaller nations - such as
Carriacou, Barbados and St Lucia - and larger countries - including
Cuba, Mexico and Jamaica - this volume brings together leading
writers on environmental planning in the Caribbean to provide an
interdisciplinary contemporary critical overview. They argue that
context is central to the practice of environmental planning in
this region. Rather than focusing on a deterministic colonial
geography and history, the contributors propose that, whilst a wide
range of foreign planning influences can be felt in different
contexts, environmental planning emerges in specific settings,
through the fluid interaction between local and global relations of
power. A number of chapters explore the effects of external
discourses upon the region, while others examine discourses on
Western-style democracy and tourism. Other important themes covered
include participatory planning, urban planning, physical
development planning, pest management, sustainable development,
water pollution, conservation and ecotourism.
