Abstract: Abstract This chapter attempts to ascertain the extent to which resource-driven, FDI-facilitated development occurred in the bauxite industry of Jamaica. To this end, it examines the efficacy of the institutional framework created for formulating and implementing industrial policy for this industry. However, the analysis of this institutional framework cannot be undertaken without first exploring the evolution of the bauxite industry in Jamaica. The following section examines this issue.
