Globalization and Development

A Latin American and Caribbean Perspective

By: José Antonio Ocampo,Juan Martin,United Nations. Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean

Globalization and Development draws upon the experiences of the Latin American and Caribbean region to provide a multidimensional assessment of the globalization process from the perspective of developing countries. Based on a study by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), this book gives a historical overview of economic development in the region and presents both an economic and noneconomic agenda that addresses disparity, respects diversity, and fosters complementarity among regional, national, and international institutions.

Citizen scholars of the Caribbean as well as noted international economists analyse the macroeconomic and broader development challenges facing developing countries today in this collection dedicated to the work of Sir William Arthur Lewis, Nobel Laureate and a pioneer of Development Economics. Originally developed as individual lectures in Lewis s honour and delivered over a ten-year period, they reflect the ethos of his approach to development and the utility of economics as a problem-solving discipline. The ultimate aim is to provide practical solutions to the problems of development. The contributors to this volume are: Rex Nettleford; Alister McIntyre; Norman Girvan; Lloyd Best; Kari Levitt; Marius St. Rose; Clive Thomas; Alan Blinder; Joseph Stiglitz; and Gerald Meier. There is a Foreword by Dr the Hon. Ralph Gonsalves, Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Dwight Venner provides an insightful and comprehensive Introduction to the volume.

The Outlook for Agriculture and Rural Development in the Americas

A Perspective on Latin America and the Caribbean 2017-2018

By: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC),Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA)

This document is the result of a joint effort by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA). In every chapter, ECLAC, FAO and IICA offer policy recommendations that they consider necessary to reinvigorate the region's agriculture. In the particular case of family farming, the report recommends a clear focus on the need to implement intersectoral policies that will retain new replacement generations and foster innovation and knowledge management. Moreover, instruments need to be developed by which these farms can successfully enter value chains.

Study on the State of Agriculture in the Caribbean

By: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations ,Caribbean Development Bank

Strategic investments in the agriculture sector are a catalyst for sustainable, economic growth and poverty reduction. Through their partnership, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have produced this comprehensive study on the State of Agriculture in the Caribbean, drawing upon decades of research on the many drivers of change affecting the CDB’s Borrowing Member Countries (BMCs), including international trade, institutional policies, and climate change. This report follows forty years of structural change in the agriculture sector of BMCs, and can support the development of an updated Agriculture Sector Strategy, by identifying key trends in agriculture in BMCs, and the related opportunities for investments in support of growth, poverty reduction, and sustainability. The Study concludes that agriculture can be an important source for economic growth and a key contributor to poverty reduction, particularly for households that are profiting less from the growth in other sectors. Through the promotion of inclusive and sustainable agricultural development, CDB can play an instrumental role in supporting BMCs in meeting their SDGs targets particularly in relation to socio-economic and environmental challenges, including poverty (SDG1) food and nutrition insecurity (SDG2), obesity (SDG3), youth unemployment (SDG8), resilient infrastructure (SDG9), gender inequality (SDG5), sustainable use of natural resources, and climate change (SDG13).
