Klak's thinking is original and refreshing. . . . [His] first chapter ['Thirteen theses on globalization and neoliberalism'] is worth the price of the book. . . . Whether one teaches or studies suburban U.S. communities, historic preservation in the Islamic realm, or housing markets in China, each thought-provoking thesis lends itself to other important issues related to our shrinking world. Scholars will welcome these insights and instructors will easily be able to draw a lecture out of each thesis. . . . [The book] has a master bibliography that will serve as a benchmark in development and Caribbean studies readings for years to come. . . . Human geography and development studies are all the richer because of this stellar work.

This volume examines the ways political, economic, and social geographic factors are affecting the development of the region. The book's original approach should be of great interest to geographers, economists, and other scholars who are interested in the Caribbean or postmodern processes.

...the case study chapters assemble a lot of new information and will certainly be cited in other studies.

A wide-ranging critique of the neoliberal agenda. The authors generate an imaginative argument for renewing a core-periphery framework in order to understand the economic, political, social and cultural position of small countries in the developing world.
