Damion Blake, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science and Policy Studies, recently published a co-authored article entitled, “State-building in the Anglo-Caribbean: Assessing Jamaica’s State formation and development.”
This research, published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Global South Studies, examines how internal and external political, socioeconomic and cultural factors impacted the formation and evolution of the Jamaican state. The findings indicate that state-building in Anglo-Caribbean countries (such as Jamaica) is not linear, but rather oscillates across the stages of high, moderate and low levels of development.
