Download or read book Handbook of Caribbean Economies written by Robert Looney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book A Theory of Enclaves written by Evgeny Vinokurov and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attempting to provide a fully-fledged theory of enclaves and exclaves, A Theory of Enclaves covers a wide scope of regions and territories throughout the world and satisfies the need for a systematic view on enclaves. This book covers 282 enclaves, with a combined population total of approximately three million, but the importance of enclaves is much higher because of their specific status and issues raised for both the mainland states and the surrounding states: Gibraltar was disproportionately large for British-Spanish relations throughout the last three centuries, Kaliningrad managed to cause a major crisis in the EU-Russian relations in 2002-03, Tiny Ceuta and Melilla have caused tensions in Spanish-Moroccan relations for more than three centuries and have recently become visible as conflict points at the EU level, German Buesingen was subject to several complex international treaties between Germany and Switzerland. Rather than viewing each enclave as a unique case, or even as an anomaly, A Theory of Enclaves provides a systematic investigation of enclave-related political and economic issues. Rich on maps and illustrations, A Theory of Enclaves strives to comprise three facets of enclaves' existence: political, economic, and social life.

Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook of Island Studies written by Godfrey Baldacchino and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From tourist paradises to immigrant detention camps, from offshore finance centres to strategic military bases, islands offer distinct identities and spaces in an increasingly homogenous and placeless world. The study of islands is important, for its own sake and on its own terms. But so is the notion that the island is a laboratory, a place for developing and testing ideas, and from which lessons can be learned and applied elsewhere. The Routledge International Handbook of Island Studies is a global, research-based and pluri-disciplinary overview of the study of islands. Its chapters deal with the contribution of islands to literature, social science and natural science, as well as other applied areas of inquiry. The collated expertise of interdisciplinary and international scholars offers unique insights: individual chapters dwell on geomorphology, zoology and evolutionary biology; the history, sociology, economics and politics of island communities; tourism, wellbeing and migration; as well as island branding, resilience and ‘commoning’. The text also offers pioneering forays into the study of islands that are cities, along rivers or artificial constructions. This insightful Handbook will appeal to geographers, environmentalists, sociologists, political scientists and, one hopes, some of the 600 million or so people who live on islands or are interested in the rich dynamics of islands and island life.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 1184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LES PETITES ECONOMIES INSULAIRES EN DEVELOPPEMENT (PEID) SONT CONSTITUTEES D'UN GROUPE D'ILES DONT LA POPULATION EST INFERIEURE AU MILLION D'HABITANTS ET DONT LA SUPERFICIE EST LE PLUS SOUVENT REDUITE. A CETTE TAILLE, S'AJOUTE LA CONTRAITE D'UNE ACCESSIBILITE COUTEUSE, EXPLIQUEE PAR L'ELOIGNEMENT AINSI QUE LES RUPTURES DE CHARGE IMPLIQUEES PAR L'INSSULARITE. LA CONJONCTION DE LA PETITE TAILLE ET DE LA MAUVAISE ACCESSIBILITE PRODUIT DES EFFETS SYNERGIQUES A L'ORIGINE DE CARATERISIQUES STRUCTURELLES BIEN IDENTIFIEES ET SPECIFIQUES AUX PEID. IL S'AGIT NOTAMMENT DE LA FAIBLESSE DES ECONOMIES D'AGGLOMERATION ET DE L'IMPOSSIBILITE DE PRODUIRE EN GRANDES SERIES POUR BENEFIER D'ECONOMIES D'ECHELLE IMPORTANTES ; LA FORTE OUVERTURE EXTERIEURE, QUI VA SOUVENT DE PAIR AVEC LA CONCENTRATION DES EXPORTANTES DE MARCHANDISES ; LA SPECIALISATION DANS L'EXPORTATION DE SERVICES. CES CARACTERISTIQUES CONSTITUENT UN SENSEMBLE D'ATOUTS ET DE CONTRAINTES POUR LA CROISSANCE ET LE DEVELOPPEMENT, DONT LE RESULTAT NET N'EST PAS CLAIR. AINSI, LES RYTHMES DE CROISSANCE QUE CONNAISSENT LES PEID NE SEMBLENT PAS INFERIEURS A CEUX DE PLUS GRANDS PAYS EN DEVELOPPEMENT, ET LEUR NIVEAU EST LE PLUS SOUVENT INTERMEDIAIRE. CEPENTANT, LA SPECIFICITE DES PEID RESIDE DANS L'ETROITESSE DES MARGES DE MANOEUVRE DE LA POLITIQUE ECONOMIQUE. CELLE-CI APPARAIT NOTAMMENT INNEFFICACE FACE AU PROBLEME DU CHOMAGE. L'UNE DES PRINCIPALES PARTICULARITES OSBERVABLES DANS LES PEID CONCERNE EN EFFET LEUR TAUX DE CHOMAGE QUI ATTEINT DANS LA PLUPART DES CAS UN NIVEAU DURABLEMENT ELEVE. L'ANALYSE VISE A METTRE EN EVIDENCE LES DETERMINANTS DE CE CHOMAGE, EN, S'APPUYANT SUR UN BILAN DES THORIES CONTEMPORAINES DU CHOMAFE ET DES ANALYSES DE L'EMPLOI DANS LA THEORIE DU DEVELOPPEMENT. UN MODELE ECONOMETRIQUE A VECTEURS AUTO-REGRESSIFS EST NOTAMMENT APPLIQUE A LA DYNAMIQUE DU COUT UNITAIRE DU TRAVAIL ET DE L'EMPLOI A BARBADE, TINIDAD ET TOBAGO ET L'ILE MAURICE. IL EST MONTRE QUE LES MODELES CLASSIQUES ET KEYNESIENS SONT PERTENENTS, SELON LE NIVEAU DE REVENU DE L'ECONOMIE. DANS LES PEID A REVEU INFERIEUR, LE FAIBLE NIVEAU DES SALAIRES PEUT UTORISER UNE DYNAMIQUE CLASSIQUE DE DEVELOPPENT TIRE PAR LES EXPORTATIONS, QUI ELLE-MEME ENTRAINE UNE REDUCTION DE L'EXCEDENT DE MAIN-D'OEUVRE. DANS LES PEIDS A REVENU SUPERIEUR CETTE STRAGIE NE PEUT ETRE POURSUIVRE DU FAIT NIVEAU DES SALAIRES. LE MOTEUR DE LA CROISSANCE RESIDE ALORS DANS L'EXPLOITATION D'UNE RENTE OU L'EXPORTATION DE SERVICES EN CONSEQUENCE, LE REGIME MACROECONOMIQUE EST KEYNESIEN OU MIXTE.

The book focuses on issues of identity, entrepreneurship, and the intricacies of development and addresses the question: How (in the current state of the economy) can a Tongan become a successful grower?

Download or read book The Continental Shelf and the Exclusive Economic Zone Le plateau continental et la zone conomique exclusive written by Donat Pharand and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on both the general aspects of two of the most typical institutions introduced by the new Law of the Sea and the specific aspects related to the geographic and economic circumstances of Italy and Canada. It is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the delimitation of maritime boundaries, especially with respect to the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone. The problem is approached from both a theoretical and a practical point of view, in particular, in analyzing not only the more well-known controversies in delimitation solved by international agreements or by international courts, but also still unsettled disputes in which Italy and Canada are involved. The second part deals with the legal regime of the continental shelf and the exclusive zone and the activities - in particular exploration and exploitation - carried out in them. The same approach as in Part One is used in juxtaposing Italian and Canadian views on relative regulation. Indeed, the volume brings together the diverse legal experience of the two countries - Italy and Canada - resulting from the different geographic, political and economic conditions found in each. It is enough to think that Italy is surrounded on three sides by a closed or semiclosed sea, the Mediterranean, while Canada borders on the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. The volume was financed by the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and edited by Donat Pharand, Professor Emiritus of International Law at the University of Ottawa, and Umberto Leanza, Full Professor of International Law at the University of Rome, 'Tor Vergata'.

Download or read book Crisis in the Caribbean written by Fitzroy Ambursley and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-27 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1983, this anthology was the first to integrate the political experiences of the Central American mainland and the Caribbean archipelago and provides analyses of some of the most explosive events of the 1970s and 80s in this region, including the Jonestown massacre, the failures of the Burnham regime in Guyana, the tumultuous elections in Jamaica in 1980, the army officers’ coup d’état in Suriname, the revolutions in Grenada and Nicaragua and the revolutionary upheaval in El Salvador. It also shows how the regional crisis affected such prosperous countries as Trinidad and Tobago and such politically stable regimes in St. Vincent and the French colonies of Martinique and Guadelope. It also discusses the development of the first Socialist regime in the region, Cuba

Download or read book European Integration and Postcolonial Sovereignty Games written by Rebecca Adler-Nissen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how sovereignty works in the context of European integration and postcolonialism. Focusing on a group of micro-polities associated with the European Union, it offers a new understanding of international relations in the context of modern sovereignty. This book offers a systematic and comparative analysis of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs), the EU and the four affected Member States: UK, France, the Netherlands and Denmark. Contributors explore how states and state-like entities play ‘sovereignty games’ to understand how a group of postcolonial entities may strategically use their ambiguous status in relation to sovereignty. The book examines why former colonies are seeking greater room to manoeuvre on their own, whilst simultaneously developing a close relationship to the supranational EU. Methodologically sophisticated, this interdisciplinary volume combines interviews, participant observation, textual, legal and institutional analysis for a new theoretical approach to understanding the strategic possibilities and subjectivity of non-sovereign entities in international politics. Bringing together research on European integration and postcolonial theory, European Integration and Postcolonial Sovereignty Games will be of interest to students and scholars of International Relations, EU studies, Postcolonial studies, International Law and Political Theory.
