In the years since Independence in 1962, Jamaica’s foreign policy has reflected



the flux and reflux of international affairs. There has been continuity in the



midst of change; and while the country has sought to deepen its traditional



friendships and widen its network of allies, it has also experienced occasions of



externally determined crisis and major disagreement both within the



Caribbean and in the wider world. Bearing in mind the profound changes which



have taken place in the international sphere since independence, this book



examines some of the main initiatives and responses which have characterised



Jamaican foreign policy over the last sixty years.
