Course Description

This course studies contemporary politics in the Caribbean under two themes: democracy and governance. In both cases, the leading agents and structures of Caribbean politics are assessed to understand the process of transformation from more traditional to more relevant practices of democracy and governance under conditions of a new political culture, civil society, and globalization. The agents and structures include the political class, political parties, electoral systems, voting behaviour, public sector governance, constitutional reform, human rights and human development, political economy and regionalism.
