To what extent are political institutions throughout the Caribbean able to negotiate national, regional, and international governance and development challenges? This is the central question this course seeks answers for. Contemporary issues and challenges at all levels demand that the political institutions which underpin Caribbean political systems be capable of engaging with the challenges of debt, international public and private financial flows, climate change, energy security, crime and violence, and wider geopolitical factors. While this course will foreground the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial institutions of governance throughout the Anglophone Caribbean, from a comparative perspective it will engage with analyses on Public Bureaucracies, Constitutions, Civil Society, and Economic Institutions as other relevant institutions which also influence governance and development throughout the wider Caribbean.
