Caribbean public policy

About this book

Caribbean countries must now compete for investment capital and markets while striving for social equity and sustainable development. This book offers a comprehensive overview of public policy issues in the region, looking in particular at these important themes: economic policy, regionalism and integration, education and culture, health care, labor and migration, gender, drug abuse and narcotrafficking, the environment, and telecommunications. The contributors, all eminent representatives from the English, Spanish, French, and Dutch Caribbean, bring together culturally diverse viewpoints and address issues with a refreshing directness, assessing realities, challenges, and possible futures of the Caribbean.
