This volume aims to illustrate the uniqueness of the economies of
the countries and territories of the Caribbean as well as the
similarities they share with other regions. While most countries in
the region share many of the characteristics of middle-income
countries, theirs is a matter of extremes. Their generally small
size suggests a fragility not found elsewhere. While much of the
world is beginning to feel some effects of climate change, the
Caribbean is ground zero. These factors suggest a difficult road
ahead, but the chapters presented in this volume aim to help to
spur the search for creative solutions to the region's problems.
The chapters, written by expert contributors, examine the Caribbean
economies from several perspectives. Many break new ground in
questioning past policy mindsets, while developing new approaches
to many of the traditional constraints limiting growth in the
region. The volume is organized in four sections. Part I examines
commonalities, including issues surrounding small economies,
tourism, climate change and energy security. Part II looks at
obstacles to sustained progress, for example debt, natural
disasters and crime. In Part III chapters consider the specific
role of external influences, including the USA and the European
Union, the People's Republic of China, as well as regional
co-operation. The volume concludes in Part IV with country case
studies intended to provide a sense of the diversity that runs
through the region.
