The Sir Arthur Lewis Institute for Social and Economic Studies plans to publish a special edition of the journal of Social and Economic Studies (SES) focusing on the Caribbean and Pacific Regions in the Global Political Economy. SES is a leading refereed academic journal published at The University of the West Indies, Mona Campus in Kingston since 1953.
The special journal issue will be edited by a cross-regional and multi-disciplinary team of academics drawn from the University of the West Indies (UWI) and the University of the South Pacific (USP).
This special issue represents a new form of collaboration between the Pacific and Caribbean region. It is facilitated by the islands of globalization initiative, a collaborative project of the Honolulu-based East-West Centre and the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The Ford Foundation-Supported Project aims at assessing the impacts of globalization on island states and territories in these two regions. Its joint editors are Dr. Patsy Lewis, Dr. Hopeton Dunn and Dr. Matthew Smith, of the University of the West Indies, Mona, and Associate Professor Biman Chand Prasad, University of the South Pacific, Fiji Islands.
