The Demographic Basis of Social Instability in the Caribbean of the Eighties

Patricia Anderson

Chapter 8 in Peace, Development and Security in the Caribbean, 1990, pp 160-179 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The outlook for peace and stability within the countries of the Caribbean is as closely related to their internal demographic, social and economic structures as it is to external geopolitical factors based on the Caribbean’s position within the US sphere of influence. This chapter presents an overview of the social and demographic factors which contribute to the current scenario of need within the Caribbean during the mideighties, creating pressures towards instability. It is these factors which establish some of the parameters for development and security objectives in the immediate future.
