Reseña del libro "Island Challenges: Caribbean and Pacific Futures (en Inglés)"

This book examines the key development challenges facing the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) of the Caribbean and the Pacific, focusing on livelihoods and state security and stability in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It provides a comprehensive overview by exploring six broad and interrelated themes: state capacity to provide basic services (such as health, water, education, electrification); migration, remittances and aid; climate change adaptation, biodiversity and environmental hazards; agriculture and fisheries; tourism and economic diversification; state solidity and stability (with attention to gender, equity and the politics of governance). The book traces how threats to the livelihoods of island households, especially for those literally and metaphorically living on the edge, are linked to overseas decisions, events and shocks, ranging from cyclones to migration policies, resort chains, drug trafficking, warfare, and commodity supply chains. It also shows how enthusiasm for a secure blue economy has required new approaches to national development, regional cooperation and global statecraft, particularly as China exported its maritime Belt and Road Initiative. As a new geopolitical order emerges and climate change continues, this book provides crucial insights into how small island states are building effective development pathways.
