Description and Table of Contents
Description
This series provides overviews and case studies of states and sectors, classes and companies in the new internatiol division of labour. These embrace political economy as both focus and mode of analysis; they aim to advance radical scholarship and scenarios. The series treats policy-economy dialectics at global, regional and national levels and examines novel contradictions and coalitions between and within each. There is a special emphasis on national bourgeoisies and capitalisms, on newly industrial or influential countries, and on novel strategies and technologies. The concentration throughout is on uneven patterns of power and production, authority and distribution, hegemony and reaction. This collection, one result of a mid-1988 international conference in Jamaica, seeks to advance analysis and discourse on the regional case of the Caribbean by focusing on security, diplomacy, hegemony and development. The conference aimed at examining, from a Caribbean perspective, the regional conjuncture and the diverse issues posed by the general theme.
It emphasized the participation of Caribbean scholars who were already interested and working on topics related to the question of regional peace and development. It's stated objectives were: to examine the relationship between peace and development in the Caribbean; share the result of current peace research relevant to the region and identify areas of concern in need of research and resources within and without the region for the promotion of peace.
