Differentiating the local impact of global drugs and weapons trafficking
The Southern Caribbean became a key hemispheric drug transhipment point in the late 1990s, to which the alarmingly high level of homicidal violence in Trinidad is often attributed. Existing research, concentrated in criminology and mainstream international relations, as well as the anti-drug policy establishment, tends to accept this correlation, framing the challenge as a typical post-Westphalian security threat. However, conventional accounts s…
Reglobalization
Teaching Global Citizenship
In 2015, as part of the University of Sheffield's strategic commitment to innovation in its approaches to internationalization, as well as recognition of both the importance of student employability and growing opportunities in student‐led research, the Faculty of Social Sciences established a unique learning and research initiative in the shape of the Global Leadership Initiative as part of the Global Learning Opportunities in the Social Science…
Secession, Territorial Integrity and (Non)-Sovereignty
Secessionist movements are ubiquitous in the Caribbean, with virtually every multi-island state and territory experiencing centrifugal tendencies. The region thus offers a unique opportunity to examine why some succeed and others fail. By and large, the propensity for secession has not attracted the attention of scholars beyond the region, with small states and territories largely excluded from supposedly ‘global’ analysis on the subject. The art…
Breaking bad”? Gangs, masculinities, and murder in Trinidad
The murder rate in Port of Spain, Trinidad, rose dramatically around the turn of the millennium, driven overwhelmingly by young men in gangs in the city’s poor neighborhoods. The literature frequently suggests a causal relationship between gang violence and rising transnational drug flows through Trinidad during this period. However, this is only part of a complex picture and misses the crucial mediating effect of evolving male identities in cont…
Reglobalization
Steering towards reglobalization
This paper makes three arguments. First, it provides an embryonic blueprint for ‘reglobalization’ by crystallizing the insights of the special issue. We can and should build a better globalization that addresses enduring inequality, based on a radical analysis cognizant of the partiality, fragility and incompleteness of the existing global governance architecture, and which seeks to expand, upgrade and democratize the multilateral order. Second, …
The political economies of different globalizations
Globalization remains contested, and often misunderstood, with damaging real-world consequences. We make four interlinked contentions in this regard. First, globalization is here to stay: although critics might wish it away intellectually, and populists might attempt this practically, the scale of contemporary global integration renders these aims implausible and even undesirable. Second, by viewing neoliberal globalization as a distinct variant …
Why is China a Reluctant Leader of the World Trade Organization
China has drawn massive benefits via expanded trade since it acceded to the WTO in 2001. We might therefore reasonably expect it to have taken a more assertive lead in trying to rectify the travails in which the organisation finds itself mired, attendant with its rising power status, its active trade diplomacy elsewhere, the high levels of relative gains it has enjoyed since becoming a member, and its broader trade dependency. That China has not …

The Fifa Scandal and the Distorted Influence of Small States
The Fédération Internationale de Football Association, the international body that governs soccer, became engulfed in a massive corruption scandal in 2015. Yet despite its global audience, financial influence, and cultural importance, the sport's governance has received little attention in political science or international studies. This article showcases how FIFA represents an important site for analyzing global governance by demonstrating how t…
Brexit
This article is based on a round table discussion that was held at the Centre for Small States, Queen Mary University, London, on 18 September 2017. The article uses the presentations from the event, together with answers to questions that were posed, to construct an analysis of how Brexit has affected, and will probably continue to affect, small states and subnational island jurisdictions in Europe and beyond. There is still no real clarity in r…
Hemispheric reconfigurations in Northern Amazonia
Regional and hemispheric reconfigurations in Latin America and the Caribbean are increasingly mediated by Brazilian power, and the engagement of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana with this emerging context is intriguing. They are tentatively moving away from a Caribbean region with which they are culturally contiguous, towards a South American continent in which they are geographically located. This is partly a reflection of the gradual opening …
Doha stalemate
This article challenges conventional narratives that suggest that the travails in the Doha Round, the shift to bilateral free trade agreements, and the broader unfolding of the global crisis collectively presage the decline of either the WTO or the broader institution of multilateral trade. We question the extent to which recent trends can indeed be said to constitute a genuine crisis of trade multilateralism by reflecting upon the contradictory …
Democratization in Africa
Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa, has had a troubled history of democratization since the 1980s. Many of the problems that the region faces are rooted in the broader development challenge and the practices of external governance that have shaped politics; others reflect the difficult encounter between a range of regional, national and local traditions and the narrow and normative understanding of what democratization should entail that domin…
Democratization
The second edition of this popular and authoritative text provides a truly global assessment of democratization in theory and practice in the contemporary world. It has been systematically revised and updated throughout to cover recent developments, from the impact of 9/11 and EU enlargement to the war in Iraq
Climate Change and the Future of Caribbean Development
Climate change is rapidly becoming the defining feature of the Caribbean developmental landscape. Yet theoretical and practical responses to the issue have been somewhat limited, particularly in terms of the socio-economic and political dimensions. This article begins by tracing the dramatic impact that climate change presages for Caribbean development. It then moves on to an analysis of how the region is attempting to respond at the global, regi…

Lost in Translation? EU Development Policy in the Anglophone and Francophone Eastern Caribbean
Coalescing for Change? Novel Coalitions in the UK and Trinidad and Tobago
In May 2010 two elections took place in traditional ‘Westminster’ polities—the United Kingdom and Trinidad and Tobago—in which coalition governments took power. In both countries, a significant part of the discourse in the run-up to election focused on the inequities of the Westminster model, and, in particular, first-past-the-post. Yet, interestingly, the end result in many ways mirrors the kind of outcome often championed by supporters of more …
Tourism as a Small-State Development Strategy
There has been a shift in many developing countries, particularly Small Island Developing States (SIDS), towards tourism as the centrepiece of their development strategy. This occurs in the context of narrowing developmental options occasioned by the end of preferential access to metropolitan markets for agriculture and the attendant decline of the primary sector. This article draws on evidence from two case studies from the microstates of the Ea…
Slaying the ‘Westmonster’ in the Caribbean? Constitutional Reform in St Vincent and the Grenadines
The model of governance bequeathed by Britain to the Caribbean has long been praised for ensuring that vibrant democratic practice has generally prevailed since the era of decolonisation. Yet it has also become increasingly clear that the Westminster system of politics, as it is applied to the region's tiny polities, has come to exhibit serious deficiencies and is in need of reform. The current government of St Vincent and the Grenadines has rece…
