Synopsis

The geo-political significance of the Caribbean, its growing importance as a major transshipment gateway for illegal drugs coming from Latin America to the United States, issues of national security, vulnerability to corruption, increases in the level of violence and social disorder, have all raised serious questions not only about the notions of sovereignty, democracy and development but also about the long-term viability of these nations. Recognized experts in the field make a strategic intervention into the discourse on these important topics, but the importance of their contribution resides in its challenge to conventional wisdom on these matters, and the multidisciplinary approach they employ.
