Ten out of the twelve English-speaking Caribbean island-states -- among a total of sixteen independent Caribbean nations -- have maintained relatively stable democracies since independence, a better rate of success than that of Latin America. In Democracy In The Caribbean sixteen Caribbean area specialists offer both global and regional perspectives in an effort to explain why this is so.
