There has been continuity in the midst of change; and while the country has sought to deepen its traditional friendships and widen its network of allies, it has also experienced occasions of externally determined crisis and major disagreement both within the Caribbean and in the wider world. Bearing in mind the profound changes which have taken place in the international sphere since independence, this book examines some of the main initiatives and responses which have characterised Jamaican foreign policy over the last sixty years. Stephen Vasciannie is Professor of International Law in the Faculty of Law at the University of the West Indies,Mona, Jamaica. Lisa Vasciannie is Senior Lecturer in International Relations in the Department of Government at the University of the West Indies,Mona, Jamaica.
