About this title

Synopsis

This collection of CARICOM-specific research represents a spectrum of writing on interrelated themes of trade, growth, debt and the environment as it applies to development prospects in the Caribbean. The contributors include a mix of researchers, at various levels of experience and institutional representation, who utilize theoretical and empirical perspectives to examine key concerns of policymakers and other stakeholders. The editors have organized the discussions in such a way as to sequence thought about the region which emphasizes the peculiarities of smallness and openness in the context of a globalized world. The importance of economic integration regionally and integration into established global production value chains are highlighted. This type of strategy becomes obviously relevant especially in the post–Covid-19 recovery processes. Trade and Development Issues in CARICOM represents a point of reference for regional policymakers and thinkers to contemplate the multifaceted nature of regional growth and development.
