Synopsis
Most people in the Caribbean are poor and the economies of their countries, shaped by colonizing powers, remain highly dependent on international markets. This book examines the region's disastrous experience in the 1980s, when sharp declines resulted from the debt crisis and the poor performance of regional exports. It focuses on alternative development strategies that have emerged in recent years, based on the goals of ending poverty, eliminating discrimination and promoting democratic participation.
