Description
Irma Alonso examines the Caribbean islands as they enter the twenty-first century, with particular emphasis on the challenges they will face in the new wave of globalization. This collection covers 24 island nations from the Bahamas in the north to Trinidad and Tobago in the south. Consideration is given to such broad subjects as economic geography, social conditions, and economic structure and to such specific issues as trade relations, the relationship between industrialization and trade, drug trafficking, and the special economies of Haiti and Cuba.
