Description
Despite the current global focus on prospects for the integrated European market, there are many in the policymaking and business communities who believe that the next century will be a Pacific, rather than a European, one. Not only does US trade with East Asia far exceed its trans-Atlantic commerce, but recent figures show that the countries of Asia Pacific account for more than 40 percent of the world's output of goods and services. As the Pacific century approaches, Caribbean states are moving to diversify their foreign relations away from the traditional focus on Europe and North America. The authors of this book explore the commonalities and current links between the Asian-Pacific and Caribbean states and examine ways in which ties between the two groups can be deepened to their mutual benefit.
