Canadian-Caribbean Relations in Transition

An up-to-date analysis and assessment of the evolving relationship between Canada and the Commonwealth Caribbean, this volume focuses on three dynamic and important issues. By presenting a current picture of the Canadian-Caribbean relationship, the book not only fills a void in academic contributions to the topic but serves as an invaluable reference guide for policy analysts, non-governmental representatives and public and private decision-makers.
