432 p., Provides an analytical and facts-based overview on the progress achieved in water security in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region over during the last decade, and its links to regional development, food security and human well-being. Focuses on four key themes: setting out the background to water, nature and food in the region; drivers of changing conditions; pressures and challenges; and responses and enabling conditions."
Examines how a Caribbean thinker, Theophilus Scholes, used the figure of the "white Negro" to expose the linkages between ethnological preoccupation with black bodies and an imperial network of power that held implications for political equality.
Equipped with new legislative powers, Canada's government is able to pick and choose immigrants more aggressively than ever. The average wait time for someone wishing to bring a spouse into the country through Kingston, Jamaica has ballooned to 15 months, fully three times the processing time in 2006. A similar application lodged in New Delhi takes just six months. Is the country engaging in country profiling?
The countries of the Wider Caribbean Region (WCR) are linked economically by their trans-boundary living marine resources. The region is facing a continued decline of these resources. Science is improving our understanding of the human contributions to this decline, but national policies and programmes have not kept pace with this understanding. The Caribbean Regional Seas Programme and its Cartagena Convention and Protocols provide the regional legal framework for protection and sustainable management of the WCR's living marine and coastal resources. This article focuses on the Cartagena Convention's Protocol for biodiversity conservation, the Protocol Concerning Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife, arguing that governments and organizations need to significantly increase participation in this regional treaty regime to effectively address transboundary environmental challenges.
