Abstract
The first thematic chapter seeks to audit the level and character of ‘political development’ in the four territories. We begin with this theme in order to reflect what Adrian Leftwich (2000) has called ‘the primacy of politics’ in the development process. As such, it makes sense to start with an analysis of the state apparatus available to each territory, and its effectiveness in terms of driving the economic and social development that will be discussed in Chapters 6 and 7, as well as, of course, the nature and quality of political practice that prevails. We will also reflect briefly on the governance challenge facing the Eastern Caribbean before drawing some conclusions.KeywordsPolitical EconomyPrime MinisterRegional CouncilPolitical DevelopmentPopular VoteThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
