Summary

This book is an up-to-date analysis and assessment of the evolving relationship between Canada and the Commonwealth Caribbean. The volume focuses on three dynamic and enormously important issues which hold special meaning for both Canada and the Caribbean. 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.
