Notably, this volume presents a critical analysis of Jamaica?s first engagement with and departure from the IMF and interrogates the political economy of the period. Jamaica?s economic experiences are assessed in the context of major global events, including the food price crises of 2007 and the global economic crises of 2008 and 2009. This book also looks at policy implications, and its well-researched analysis will be of great value to practitioners and policymakers as well as academics. 607 $aJamaica$xEconomic conditions 676 $a338.97292 700 $aClarke$b Christine$0977174 702 $aNelson$b Carol 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910468247803321 996 $aContextualizing Jamaica's relationship with the IMF$92226107 997 $aUNINA
