This edited collection brings together the work of practitioners, civil society actors, and academics, either located in the Caribbean, or involved in Caribbean-based work on public policy making and its implementation. The compendium challenges traditional dichotomies of external versus internal actors in the policy process, thereby, framing Caribbean public policy as a complex multi stakeholder undertaking. The collection is informed by three broad thematic areas: Gender and Policymaking, Human Security and Social Policy. Sub-themes include Gun Violence and CARICOM Small Island Developing States and the People Face/ Social Cost of Climate Change. This volume is ideal for researchers, policy-makers, academics, and graduate students.
