Climate Shock, Food Insecurity, and Agricultural Resilience in Import-Dependent States
This article examines the structural vulnerability of import-dependent states to climate-driven food disruption. It argues that food insecurity in such settings is produced by the interaction of climatic shocks, weak domestic production systems, import concentration, and inadequate storage, logistics, and financing arrangements. The article contends that resilience cannot be reduced to increased output alone; it requires institutional redesign ac…
Constitutional Silences, Executive Power, and Democratic Fragility in Small States
This article examines how constitutional silence, understood as the absence of clear rules on emergency authority, delegated legislation, appointments, legislative oversight, and ex ante constitutional review, creates opportunities for executive aggrandizement in small states. The argument is that democratic fragility often arises not only from openly authoritarian legal texts but also from ambiguities that allow concentrated political actors to …
Cyberfraud as Political Economy
This article analyzes cyberfraud not as isolated online deception but as a political-economy problem rooted in weak regulation, transnational criminal infrastructure, and uneven state capacity. It argues that developing states face a distinctive vulnerability because digital adoption has outpaced the institutional maturation of policing, financial intelligence, consumer protection, data governance, and cross-border legal cooperation. Contemporary…
Creative Industries as Economic Infrastructure in Small Developing Economies
This article argues that cultural and creative industries should be treated as economic infrastructure rather than as marginal lifestyle sectors in small developing economies. The analysis contends that music, film, festivals, design, literary production, digital content, and heritage-based enterprise generate value not only through direct revenue and employment but also through tourism spillovers, export identity, place branding, skills formatio…
Flood, Drought, and the Law
This article examines how climate change is exposing the legal and institutional weaknesses of water governance systems. It argues that flood and drought should no longer be treated as separate policy domains; both are symptoms of governance systems unable to balance competing demands under climatic volatility. The article draws on contemporary UN-Water reporting to show that many countries lack the financing, coordination, and integrated managem…
Health Misinformation, Institutional Trust, and Crisis Governance in Vulnerable Democracies
This article examines the relationship between health misinformation, institutional trust, and crisis governance in vulnerable democracies. It argues that misinformation is not merely a communications nuisance; it is a governance threat that can weaken compliance, polarize public debate, and damage the legitimacy of health institutions during emergencies. The problem becomes especially acute where trust in government is already fragile and digita…
Micro-Credentials as a Development Catalyst
Micro-credentials have emerged as a dynamic component of global workforce development, offering rapid, skills-focused pathways that complement or extend traditional academic qualifications. Caribbean economies, including Guyana, face significant labour-market shifts driven by technological advancement, economic diversification, and demand for adaptable skillsets. This article examines the increasing relevance of micro-credentials as a mechanism f…
The Psychology of Adult Learning
Adult learners constitute one of the fastest-growing segments of higher education globally, especially within developing regions where working professionals seek opportunities for reskilling, advancement, and social mobility. Flexible online universities have demonstrated significantly higher retention and completion rates among adult learners compared to traditional institutions. This article explores the psychological foundations underpinning a…
The Future of Work in Guyana and the Caribbean
Caribbean economies are undergoing rapid transformation due to technological disruption, climate adaptation imperatives, demographic shifts, and global market integration. These forces are redefining the skills required for sustainable employment and economic competitiveness across the region. This article examines the emerging skillsets projected to dominate labour markets in Guyana and the wider Caribbean by 2035, drawing upon empirical labour-…
Digital Inequality in Developing States
Digital inequality has emerged as one of the most persistent structural barriers to educational advancement in developing countries. Caribbean countries, including Guyana, continue to face significant disparities in connectivity, digital literacy, device access, and technological infrastructure. These challenges impede the equitable expansion of online and blended learning, constrain labour-market readiness, and undermine regional development str…
AI-Driven Education in the Caribbean
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force capable of reshaping educational systems globally. For developing countries in the Caribbean, including Guyana, AI offers a unique opportunity to overcome long-standing structural constraints and leapfrog traditional education models. This article examines the prospects and challenges of AI-driven education across the region by analysing global frameworks, regional contextual vari…
The Economic Return on Online Degrees
Demand for affordable, flexible, high-quality higher education has increased globally as students confront rising tuition costs, labour-market uncertainty, and access limitations inherent in traditional brick-and-mortar institutions. Online universities, particularly those offering accredited and low-cost programmes, have strengthened their position as viable alternatives capable of delivering substantial economic return on investment. This artic…
