    摘要、提要註: The book examines the status of the Anglophone Caribbean economy andthe options it faces as traditional preferential trade arrangements begin to disappear. Two broad options are explored: one is the transformation of primary exports into higher value-added products and the other is a shift inthe economic structure toward tourism and other services.The book constructs a model of a potentialCaribbean economy, described as a travel economy. The travel economy is based on two enduring features of Caribbean life, tourism and migration, and it is meant to provide a benchmark against which to gauge the evolution of the structure ofindividual economies. The main contribution of this book isa concise and methodological treatment of the issues of transition and adjustmentthat the Caribbeanfaces in an increasingly liberalized international trading system.
