The Urban Caribbean: Transition to the New Global Economy
研究了哥斯达黎加、海地、危地马拉、多米尼加共和国和牙买加五个小国的城市化特征，探讨历史、经济不稳定和海外汇款对城市人口社会空间分布的影响。
This collaborative work examines the features of urbanization in some small nation-states in the Caribbean Basin and also presents five specific case studies of urbanization in Costa Rica Haiti Guatemala the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. The study shows how the different histories of these five countries particularly as they affect social and political rights have affected the social and spatial distribution of the urban populations. The shared experiences of economic instability and rising unemployment in recent years and their impact on the cities are also discussed. In addition consideration is given to the contribution of remittances from migrants overseas.
