Although known and perhaps infamous for their role as high-end tourist destinations and financial centres, these small jurisdictions are complex and multifaceted places. While this volume considers their role as financial centres, it does so from alternative and original perspectives by examining how the sector shapes the internal dynamics of these Caribbean societies, and how it is itself shaped by global trends. A range of contributions is included that highlight other key issues. Political relations between the territories and their metropolitan centres and with the European Union are the focus of several chapters, highlighting the stresses and strains, and in many cases the unfulfilled expectations of devolved governance. Further chapters describe the economic challenges and factors of political instability faced by some of these societies and the available options to address them. Finally, several chapters reflect more specifically on the territories' internal social and ethnic dynamics, and the hierarchies and inequalities that result. Bringing together a variety of different disciplinary perspectives, from political science to sociology, and from anthropology to geography, this book will be of great interest to any academic or student who wishes to see how an often overlooked part of the world is actually a key site of socio-economic transformation and a crucial nexus in global affairs"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 651 0 $a Europe $x History $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $x Economic conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $x Economic policy $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $x Politics and government $y 1945- 651 0 $a Europe $x Economic policy $y 21st century. 700 1 $a Chauvin, Sebastien, $e editor. 700 1 $a Clegg, Peter, $d 1972- $e editor. 700 1 $a Cousin, Bruno, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Euro-Caribbean societies in the 21st century $b First edition. $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2018 $z 9781351248877 $w (DLC) 2018027550 830 0 $a Europa regional perspectives. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213015057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9C73BEAEE96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
