"The Caribbean remains the only developing area in which Canada, through an integrated set of policies, is capable of exerting significant influence. During the 1990s domestic, regional and international forces and factors - economic and political - have ushered in changes in both Canada and the Caribbean and, in turn, have directly impacted on the form and dynamics of this particular North-South relationship."--BOOK JACKET. "The purpose of this volume is to discuss, evaluate and project the course of the special relationship between Canada and the Commonwealth Caribbean vis-a-vis the three critically important and timely issues of trade, sustainable development and security."--BOOK JACKET.
