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.
