Dear Administrator, I'd appreciate it if you could bring the following to the attention of members: New book on Public Administration and Policy in the Caribbean by Dr Indianna Minto-Coy & Professor Evan Berman, the 2015 winner of the Fredd Riggs Award for Lifetime Achievement in International and Comparative Administration. The book is published by CRC Press/Taylor & Francis is available at: http://www.amazon.com/Public-Administration-Policy-Caribbean/dp/1439892946 & https://www.crcpress.com/Public-Administration-and-Policy-in-the-Caribbean/M... OverviewThe Caribbean is at a crucial phase in its development. Global and local pressures have seen the region losing its competitiveness, while it remains at risk of losing out on development gains made in the last few decades. These pressures are demanding improvements in the way government operates, particularly in its policy-making and administrative capacity. This book offers the single most comprehensive reference on public administration in the Caribbean to date, providing information on legacies, tools, and strategies that are beneficial to understanding and improving public policy. Public Administration and Policy in the Caribbean presents contributed chapters from a host of well-placed practitioners and academics across the region and its diaspora and features the experiences of the wider Caribbean (that is, the Dutch, English, French, and Spanish Caribbean).Public Administration and Policy in the Caribbean makes a solid contribution to understanding the variety of experiences, legacies, and contemporary issues in public policy and administration in small and developing states. Practitioners, researchers, consultants, and instructors should find this an invaluable resource.Please forward to your contacts and networks!
