Can CARICOM countries replicate the Singapore experience?
探讨加勒比共同体国家能否通过出口导向型工业化复制新加坡的经济成功,认为在保护主义加剧、技术快速变革和本土基础设施不足的背景下,这一策略难以奏效。
This article tries to ascertain whether CARICOM countries1 can replicate the economic success of Singapore, based on export‐oriented industrialisation. Whereas it is possible for CARICOM countries to increase exports of some manufactures to industrial countries, the article contends that export‐oriented policies, currently urged upon CARICOM countries, will not effect a replication of the Singapore experience in an age of growing protectionism, rapid technological change, an inadequate indigenous social infrastructure and existing labour relations in the region.
