Crisis and Promise in the Caribbean

"Having considered this work in its entirety, I can say that it is an excellent, distinctive synthesis of four decades of active participation in public life, by a brilliant academic who has worked tirelessly to give birth to creative proposals, designed to strengthen democracy, economic development and integration in the Caribbean region. As Secretary General of the Association of Caribbean States, I have witnessed the evolution of the concept of ’Convergence without Borders’ which is so thoroughly expounded in this book. I am convinced that said concept constitutes a powerful theoretical tool to foster these bold transformations which are necessary for the emergence and development of a new political and economic vision in the context of integration among Caribbean peoples. Advancing the process of economic cooperation for investment and mobility of capitals, with the goal of achieving productive development in the Wider Caribbean, is the point of departure towards the full development of the ’Convergence without Borders’ as proposed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Hon. Winston Dookeran, in this magnificent contribution to Caribbean thought." - Alfonso Munera, Secretary General, Association of Caribbean States

"Economist Winston Dookeran's Crisis and Promise in the Caribbean is by far one of the most prodigious works on redefining Caribbean society to meet the multiple challenges faced today. Crisis and Promise is conceptually progressive and implementable, and should be readily sought by academicians and policy makers throughout the region." - Dr Glenville Ashby, Kaieteur News Online
