This book examines the slide into a new Cold War in the Caribbean. The primary argument is that the Caribbean’s geopolitics have shifted from a period of relative great power disinterest in the aftermath of the Cold War to a gradual movement into a new Cold War in which a global rivalry between the U.S. and China is acted out regionally.
Scott B. MacDonald is the Chief Economist for Smith's Research & Gradings, a Global Americans Research Fellow, and a founding member and Fellow of the Caribbean Policy Consortium.
