“Wendy Grenade’s book is a call for understanding and action. There has been enduring criticism that CARICOM is ineffective in dealing with the myriad of issues that faces it. Grenade does not shy away from this discourse, but crucially offers new insights. Interweaving several conceptual approaches and rigorous analysis, she advances a more positive account of how the Caribbean, and other regions in the Global South, can fortify their security and enhance the lived realities of their people.”

In the book Multidimensional Threats and Regional Responses to Caribbean Security, scholars, and practitioners, would be pleased with Wendy Grenade’s focus on both traditional and non-traditional security threats. Her work builds on the plethora of scholarly and official studies in the field. She demonstrates that Caribbean regional crime cannot be eliminated because of limited budgets or capability. But it can be managed! Her book is an especially important contribution to the genre.
