Editorial Reviews

Uses post-Cold War literature on globalization to redefine the purpose and value of Caribbean Studies, focusing on problems facing the region in the changing circumstances of the new world order and the trend towards a global economy. Considers changes in regional identities, economic structures, and the geopolitical situation, and explores social and socio-political issues. Special attention is paid to the creation and development of the Association of Caribbean States and its importance in regional integration. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknew.com)
