Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ever since the collapse of the West Indies Federation in 1958, debate has raged on the subject of regional integration. In this collection, the contributors illustrate that Caribbean people s similarities far outweigh any drawbacks from their diversity. The survival and success of regional institutions in health, social services, youth empowerment, education and agriculture, among others, have served to create a common bond of understanding and appreciation of the oneness of the Caribbean people. While the regional integration movement is primarily an institutional activity, its success will depend largely on the impact on the people of the region by these institutions. The contributors argue that an approach which puts people a the centre of development is necessary for the construction and effective functioning of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy the linchpin of Caribbean survival in the new globalized dispensation.

Book excerpt: "Governance in the Age of Globalisation provides a unique Caribbean perspective and analysis of the governance challenges at the national, regional and international levels. At the national level, the need for effective governance systems is highlighted as a critical requirement for promoting optimum levels of growth and development, guaranteeing human rights and ensuring political and social stability. Similarity at the regional level, the deepening of the regional integration process envisaged in the implementation of a Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME), requires innovative ideas and initiatives for rationalizing governance structures. Moreover, since the process of globalization and changes in the geopolitical configuration of the international system have major implications for the exercise of power in that system, the establishment of suitable governance structures at the global level requires analysis. In this volume, academics from a wide range of disciplines, professional from both the public and private sectors and representatives of international organizations and development agencies, share views and present concrete proposals for effective governance systems under the broad headings of governance systems and structures; theoretical aspects as they relate to democracy and development; governance at the international level and its impact on the small states of the Caribbean; and the vital role that the state, the public and private sectors and other branches of the regional society play in promoting good governance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Caribbean, like regions elsewhere, is caught in what has been called democracy's global ?Third Wave.? In this volume, contributors examine the nature of democratization in the region together with its accessory, human rights. The emphasis is to extend the analysis and debates beyond political democracy and civil and political rights to consider also economic democracy and economic and social rights. Early chapters address issues and dilemmas common to the democracy and human rights landscape throughout the region. In particular, economic crisis, drug trafficking, and political instability continue to threaten the region's relatively healthy human rights profile. Next, contributors consider how the form of Caribbean democracy and the status of human rights have been influenced by foreign actors and external developments. Particular attention is paid to the role of the OAS, the United Nations, NGOs, and international law. Because the democracy and human rights challenges and dynamics vary across countries, the work also offers extensive single-country assessments."--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: This book offers an urgent commentary on the experience of Caribbean development in the postcolonial era, a critical discussion of the current crisis of globalization in the region. Specifically, it examines the different national models of development that have been pursued in the past forty years in Anglophone Caribbean countries such as Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, and Grenada. In addition, the coauthors address problems of integration and examine the region's main external linkages to Europe and North America that affect its development opportunities. They also present remarkably lucid accounts of the complex and tangled issue of the banana controversy, the role of U.S. fruit multinationals, and the role of the World Trade Organization in addressing these sorts of issues. Not only for Caribbean specialists, this book will be valuable for those concerned with international political economy and development problems generally.

Download or read book Globalization and Governance written by Ann Marie Bissessar and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-10-04 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the controversial nature of globalization, there is no doubt that the pace and intensity of global interactions has been multiplied exponentially over the last few decades. Criticism of globalization is generally arranged into three camps: political, economic and cultural. Political critics point to the status of the small state and conclude either that it is in retreat, or that the state has reconstituted itself to confront the challenges posed by globalization, thereby transforming itself into a "competition state." Economic critics hold that globalization is nothing new, that international transactions are in the logic of capitalism and that the trade along the silk route goes back centuries. Cultural critics protest that globalization is taking us headlong into the "homogenization of the world." Others warn of new fault lines that would lead to "a clash of civilizations" and international conflicts along those lines. Others lament that cultural globalization will end with the Americanization of the world. This collection of essays, like the debates themselves, is divided into three parts. The first section focuses on the political aspects of globalization. In one essay, "Globalization and the Caribbean," the essayist argues that internationalization leaves no room for small countries in the Caribbean. The essays in the second section are devoted to an economic inquiry into the process and impact of globalization. In "Inequality and the Division of Gains at the Global Level," one essayist notes that the logic of economic theory is being overwhelmed by the interests of the powerful, and that the concerns of the poor countries are important only to the point where they begin to impact the well-being of the rich. The final section explores the issue of cultural and social integration. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
