Public Policy Making, Gender, and Human Security in the Caribbean

This edited collection brings together the work of practitioners, civil society actors, and academics, either located in the Caribbean, or involved in Caribbean-based work on public policy making and its implementation. The compendium challenges traditional dichotomies of external versus internal actors in the policy process, thereby, framing Caribbean public policy as a complex multi stakeholder undertaking. The collection is informed by three broad thematic areas: Gender and Policymaking, Human Security and Social Policy. Sub-themes include Gun Violence and CARICOM Small Island Developing States and the People Face/ Social Cost of Climate Change. This volume is ideal for researchers, policy-makers, academics, and graduate students.
