Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Caribbean islands are riddled with poverty, crime, and corruption and these problems are mines that eventually will explode into a regional incident. First, it is important to understand the history of the Caribbean; categorize and describe the minefields (poverty, crime, and corruption) in the region; and give a perspective on who planted these mines and how the mines are being nurtured. This sets the foundation to tackle how to defuse these mines and show why the US should help. The culmination is a look at life without these minefields in the Caribbean. This paper focused on the larger Caribbean islands that are most progressive in the region such as the Bahamas, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados. These islands carry enough clout in the region where smaller islands in the region merely mimic the approach of these larger and more progressive islands. This leads to the assumption that if these larger islands become failed states then the smaller islands will follow suit. Figure 1, below, shows a map of the Caribbean.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
