Raymond Izarali, the volume embarks on a comprehensive examination of the frontiers in economic policy analysis: convergence, complexity, competitiveness, and the circular economy. These frontiers, often discussed in isolation, collectively establish the theoretical framework for the World Economic Forum’s “The Great Reset Initiative”, aimed at rebuilding a more sustainable, equitable, and inclusive world following the pandemic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThought-provoking chapters – written by scholars and practitioners both within and beyond the region – span issues such as the challenges facing small island states, the adequacy of orthodox growth models, regional advances in policy structures, liberalism, investment and capital flows, and health diplomacy to name a few and encapsulate a multidisciplinary approach. This approach expertly weaves together the disciplines of economics, politics, and diplomacy to forge not only a holistic understanding of Caribbean policy dynamics but also forge a clear path to translating research findings into actionable policy insights, which could propel the Caribbean towards a future of renewed prosperity and shared success. \u003ci\u003eDevelopment and Diplomacy\u003c\/i\u003e is a sequel to previous publications, such as Winston Dookeran’s \u003ci\u003ePower, Politics and Performance: A Partnership Approach for Development \u003c\/i\u003e(2012); \u003ci\u003eCrisis and Promise in the Caribbean: Politics and Convergence\u003c\/i\u003e (2015); \u003ci\u003eThe Caribbean on the Edge: The Political Stress of Stability, Equality, and Diplomacy\u003c\/i\u003e and Dookeran and Carlos Elias’s \u003ci\u003eShifting the Frontiers: An Action Framework for the Future of the Caribbean \u003c\/i\u003e(2016).
