Development Administration in the Caribbean

Focusing on the historical evolution of development administration, this book analyzes bureaucratic performance through a detailed examination of Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago from 1960 to 1995. It identifies key attributes of public bureaucracy and their impact on development outcomes, supported by both macro-level aggregate data and micro-level case studies of the Industrial Development Corporations and the Ministry of Education. The study uncovers patterns that enhance understanding of development theory and its practical implications, particularly in economic growth and women's empowerment.
