Abstract

This chapter provides an in-depth case study of Barbados. It pays attention to the evolution of the Social Partnership (SP) in Barbados as an important collaborative governance space. However, it highlights the limits to the SP, since this arrangement has been restricted to labour and private sector representative CSOs in the country. The chapter also examines other practices in the country that have made space for civil society and CSO involvement in governance, which, though they exist, tend to be ad hoc and instrumental. Additionally, the chapter offers a discourse analysis of government development planning documents that provide suggestions about official approaches to participatory governance.
