Produktbeschreibung

This book offers the single most comprehensive reference on public administration in the Caribbean to date. Drawing together some of the best researcher and practitioner perspectives on these small and developing states, it covers the lesser-known experiences of the Dutch, French, and English Caribbean, as well as Cuba and Haiti, showing the rich legacies, themes, and contemporary issues affecting the region. It also considers a number of critical policy issues, some old, some new, and others yet emerging that are of significant import for successful governance and development across the region.
