Abstract: Purpose - – The purpose of this article is to discuss transnational organized crime (TOC) and the relationship to good governance in the Caribbean. Design/methodology/approach - – This paper is exploratory. It follows a path of inductive reasoning, from observation of the eight global cases to a broader general analysis and the development of a theoretical framework or ideal type. Findings - – The influence of TOC on governance in the Caribbean is worrying. Normative theories of democracy, public administration and governance no longer apply. Economic growth diminishes, unemployment rises, crime rises. Originality/value - – The paper contributes to the understanding of the impact of TOC on good governance especially on Small Island Developing States in the Caribbean.
