| Sommario/riassunto: | A ground-breaking scholarly text with resonance and relevance in emerging post-globalism discourse, it provides a theoretical and empirical framework not only for decolonising Caribbean political corruption studies but also for giving agency to small island development outside Western narratives -an exciting prospect of 'small walking tall'. ---Simon Lee, independent scholar and Caribbeanist This book is a pioneering multi-disciplinary analytical study of Caribbean political corruption grounded in Caribbean epistemology, challenging universalist perceptions generated outside the region which take no account of historical and cultural elativity. In tracing the history and development of Caribbean political systems and corruption, it collates and synthesizes existing data, indispensable to current and future research. Rigorous analysis of international corruption measurement tools demonstrates deficiencies and limited validity for small island states in the Caribbean and worldwide. Highly detailed case studies and fieldwork research investigating perceptions of corruption and democratic capacity present invaluable new empirical data and offer insights into remodelling corruption analysis. With its wide cross-disciplinary appeal, this book makes significant and timely contributions to decolonial studies and an emerging decolonization discourse in the Caribbean. Dr. Dawn De Coteau is an international lawyer who practices in England & Wales and the Caribbean region. She obtained the award of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Liverpool in 2022, with her thesis entitled 'Corruption in Caribbean Politics - Examining Cultural Tolerance’. |
