In this paper, the main factors that influence the demand for maritime passenger transportation in the Caribbean were studied. While maritime studies in the Caribbean have focused on infrastructural and operational systems for intensifying trade and movement of goods, there is little information on the movement of persons within the region and its potential to encourage further integration and sustainable development. Data to inform studies and policies in this area are particularly difficult to source. For this study, an unbalanced data set for the 2000-2014 period in 15 destinations with a focus on departing ferry passengers was compiled. Further a demand equation for maritime passenger transportation in the Caribbean using panel data methods was estimated. The results showed that this demand is related to the real fare of the service, international economic activity and the number of passengers arriving in the country by air.

This paper examines the potential benefits and challenges of regionally managed e-government development initiatives. It examines the current state of e-government in four Caribbean countries – Barbados, Jamaica, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago – in order to establish a broader understanding of the challenges that face e-government initiatives in the region. It also reviews a number of e-government initiatives that have been undertaken through projects managed at a regional level. Based on this analysis, it presents a set of best practices that are recommended to agencies engaged in the task of coordinating the implementation of regionally-based e-government initiatives.

El desafío del desarrollo en América Latina y el Caribe es trascendental, por las diferentes dimensiones que lo componen, sus objetivos e instrumentos y los obstáculos que lo condicionan. En esa línea, este libro constituye una contribución al debate sobre el desarrollo, en particular sobre uno de sus retos más grandes, la gobernanza de los recursos naturales. En el caso de los recursos naturales no renovables, el desafío de la gobernanza es aún mayor, debido a su propia naturaleza de recursos agotables, que exige un tratamiento en extremo cuidadoso, que atienda a los criterios más apreciados del desarrollo sostenible y que considere las necesidades de las generaciones futuras como un componente esencial de las decisiones. La gobernanza vigente de los recursos naturales no ha logrado llevar a la región a un proceso virtuoso para el aprovechamiento sostenible de esa riqueza. Como se sostiene a lo largo del libro, la región requiere una nueva gobernanza de los recursos naturales que asegure que los beneficios de su explotación sean sostenibles, que haga un aporte concreto al desarrollo pleno y que contribuya a disminuir las desigualdades existentes.
