Sustainable Development, Fiscal Policy and Participatory Democracy in the Caribbean

Rosalea Hamilton of Institute for Law and Economics and University of Technology Jamaica presents the paper “Sustainable Development, Fiscal Policy and Participatory Democracy in the Caribbean” she co-wrote with Vanus James of University of Technology. In this engaging 10-minute presentation, Rosalea illustrates the structural inequalities facing the Caribbean and their roots in the constraints of its domestic productive sectors. She highlights concrete recommendations to achieve equitable economic growth through democratizing fiscal governance, thereby addressing structural conditions of inequality and their manifestations throughout the Caribbean. Her paper connects concrete strategies for democratic economic governance while exploring and reinforcing resonances with the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals.
