Abstract: Abstract The Caribbean1 comprises 13 independent nation states: Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. With populations of less than 1.5 million,2 all are defined as small states. There are ten Caribbean island states as distinct from the mainland states of Belize, Guyana, and Suriname. These ten countries, for purpose of analysis, comprise the Caribbean small island developing states (SIDS). Table 3.1 presents a number of indicators that highlight some of the key characteristics of these countries.
