This authoritative anthology contains papers which examine economic and monetary policy-making in the English speaking Caribbean from 1975 to 1985, during major shifts in the economies of those nations. The papers grew out of the 20th Annual Caribbean Regional Programme of Monetary Studies conference. They cover a number of areas, including money, finance, trade, payments, prices, exchange rates, and economic cooperation. This work is an excellent resource for courses in development, international economics, international business, and Latin America.

The articles first focus on the uses of monetary policy in the Caribbean, ways of adjusting the balance of external payments, and the design of fiscal policy. Contributors then examine specific policies undertaken in each currency area in the region, identifying what worked and what did not. Finally, an agenda for ongoing research into the features, problems, and potentials of the Caribbean is outlined.

The papers in these volumes inevitably chart the course of Sir Alister's professional life and . . . I marvel at the prodigious output of his intellectual journey." -Sir Shridath Ramphal, former Chancellor of the University of the West Indies, Common wealth Secretary General, Chairman of the West Indian Commission and Director-General of the Caribbean Regional Negotiating Machinery. Sir Alister held an unswerving belief that the only workable pathway for the survival of the small countries of the Caribbean was through a strategy of regional integration that would combine the synergies of the individual countries of the region into a collective whole. He was quite insistent about youth participation and either devised or supported various initiatives to encourage a younger generation of scholars to participate directly in the regional integration project. He held numerous consultations, commissioned a number of technical studies from university scholars, the private sector and governmental institutions and developed structured negotiating positions (through his blue and red negotiating books) to enable the region to speak with one voice and hold a common position in the international community." -Dr. Shelton Nicholls, Senior Advisor to the President, Caribbean Development Bank.

Sir Alister's deep interest such as human resource development, education, training and the capacity to deal with the challenges of change in the 21st century, are all deftly addressed in his many contributions to scholarship." "What distinguished McIntyre from many of his colleagues was not only the technical brilliance of his writing on trade and economics, but his equally perceptive understanding of the role of human resources in the building of a sustainable livelihood in small developing states. These papers reflect the vision of one who was committed to creating an economic space to facilitate the movement of economic factors, goods, services skills and human resources." -The Most Honourable Professor Sir Kenneth Hall, Former Principal and Pro Vice-Chancellor, University of the West Indies, Mona Campus.
