Non-economic dimensions to the long-term economic prospects of the OECS countries : draft

Lewis, Vaughn A.

Non-economic dimensions to the long-term economic prospects of the OECS countries : draft - St John'sAG OECS 1987

Identifies characteristics which distinguish OECS states from other third world states viz. dependence on foreign trade; range of resources and local skills; diseconomies of small scale in the provision of infrastructural services. Suggests that as a medium-term strategy, the OECS countries should focus on building alliances with strategic countries both industrial and developing in UN fora. Emphasizes the need for intra-OECS trade through progressive liberalization and the systematic development of collaborative mechanisms within the subregion.
