Notes:
306 p., Weather-induced environmental crises and slow responses from imperial authorities, Johnson argues, played an inextricable and, until now, largely unacknowledged role in the rise of revolutionary sentiments in the 18th century Caribbean.
53 p., Since 1996, Congress has appropriated 205 million dollars to the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Department of State (State) to support democracy assistance for Cuba. Because of Cuban government restrictions, conditions in Cuba pose security risks to the implementing partners -- primarily nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) -- and subpartners that provide US assistance. GAO (1) identified current assistance, implementing partners, subpartners, and beneficiaries; (2) reviewed USAID's and State's efforts to implement the program in accordance with US laws and regulations and to address program risks; and (3) examined USAID's and State's monitoring of the use of program funds. Tables, Figures, Appendixes.

Notes:
335 p., This study offers in-depth discussion and a new approach to interpreting the failure of the nation state and the chronic weakness of economic development in Haiti. It illustrates, through presentations and recommendations, how the road to true democracy and the eradication of endemic poverty in Haiti has to go through the establishment of the rule of law and strong and sustained economic growth.

497 p., As the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) nears its fourth decade of existence, The Integrationist provides an overview of CARICOM's current status. As it moves between economics, domestic politics, international politics, and education, the developments and deficiencies of CARICOM are discussed constructively, with an eye on moving the Community towards a stronger international presence. Managing Mature Regionalism: CARICOM in the Twenty-First Century is both informative and thought-provoking as it transforms a vacation spot into a strong international presence, both politically and economically, before the reader's eyes.
