This book focuses on traditional export dependence and the need to develop a viable alternative by fostering nontraditional export growth in Central America and the Caribbean. It also contains case studies, which mainly concentrate on an analysis of the supply-determining factors.
Today, most of the countries in Central America and the Caribbean share a common set of problems and structural characteristics that are the result of a similar history of economic development. The specific articulation of these characteristics and the severity of the economic problems in any particular country, of course, vary. In general, the economies of the region are small, agricultural export economies. Sugar, bananas, coffee, and meat have been the main export items for most countries, but natural resource exports-bauxite and oil-have played a key role for a few Caribbean countries.
