Book excerpt: Public Sector Reform (PSR) and New Public Management (NPM) have been promoted by Commonwealth Caribbean governments and supported by regional and international agencies as a necessary step to ensure effective, efficient and economical administration; improve governance; and manage globalization. Modernizing the State covers both the theory and practice of PSR and NPM in the region. It examines examples of policy transfer for the first time in an extended manner, and evaluates their impact on the reform process. Five countries in the region – Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago – are studied in depth to assess the successes as well as the failures of reform. Particular attention is paid to the importance of the NPM paradigm in influencing and shaping the various reform initiatives. This book is one of the few comparative attempts to study the evolution and implementation of PSR and the only one to focus exclusively on the Caribbean in the important period of the 1990s onward. Free of jargon, it will appeal to graduate and undergraduate students in addition to academics and consultancy firms, bilateral development agencies and intergovernmental agencies.

Download or read book The Public Sector in the Caribbean written by Vinaya Swaroop and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1999 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: May 1996 The public sector's performance in the Caribbean varies, in reducing poverty and in creating an enabling environment for growth. Barbados and the Bahamas have been the high performers, Guyana and the Dominican Republic have been sluggish, and the other Caribbean countries fall in between. In the Caribbean region, the public sector is now the predominant provider of tertiary education and health services (university education and hospital-based curative care), which mainly benefit the nonpoor. Attempts must be made to recover costs from high-income users and use that revenue to improve the quality and quantity (as appropriate) of basic services. Lessons from experience suggest that most Caribbean countries need to encourage the private sector to participate more in providing infrastructure and need to provide a better regulatory framework. The good news: this is already taking place in many countries.

Download or read book Policy Reform for Sustainable Development in the Caribbean written by Michele Garrity and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caribbean countries, and many other Third World countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa, have been under the yoke of structural adjustment measures for more than a decade. Numerous studies have addressed the inequality of North-South relations, the lack of transparency in negotiations that have led to the signature of agreements, the absence of a clear definition of responsibilities of the parties engaged, the inadequacy and inadaptation of policies with regard to the socio-cultural context, and especially the refusal to take into account the social demands of the most deprived. The criticisms formulated in this book can only find a beginning of solutions by the setting up of a solid administrative organization in which the public officials are made accountable and who, once aware of the national and international stakes, can confront the constraints involved in State/international negotiation relations. The book is a very rich presentation of the concept and the problems of structural adjustment and institutional development in the developing countries. Beside the impressive introduction and the convincing conclusion, the articles on these prerequisites for institutional sustainability present the most important empirical research results. The contents is a clear description of problems, failures and results in institutional reforms.
