This book provides a history of the WTO US-EU banana dispute through the lens of a major actor: the US-owned multinational firm, Chiquita Brands International.

This is the most in-depth study of the economic partnership between the European Union and the CARIFORUM countries, a group of fifteen small developing economies in the Caribbean.

The conventional wisdom is that small developing countries exert limitedif anyinfluence on the foreign policy of superpowers, in particular the United States. This book challenges that premise based on the experience of the small developing country of Jamaica and its relations with the United States. It raises the question: if the foreign policy of the United States can be influenced by even a small developing country, should Washington be worried?

Looking beyond sun, sand and sea, Medical and Wellness Tourism in Jamaica delves into the world of health and wellness tourism in the Caribbean. Drawing on relevant and current statistics and data, the global state of the health and wellness tourism industry is presented and the future prospects for the Caribbean discussed and analysed.
