Multidimensional Threats and Regional Responses to Caribbean Security assesses the prevalence and intensity of intersecting security threats such as transnational organized crime, pandemics, and climate change on the state of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). The interplay of these various threats can adversely affect small island developing states (SIDS). This book aims to expose the fault lines in Western-centric international relations, which neglects non-military issues, non-state actors, and other security issues affecting SIDS. This volume also explores the efficacy of security regionalism for SIDS, where multiple actors cooperate across different levels and pool sovereignty, resources, and capabilities within legitimate institutional structures in order to prepare for, prevent, and collectively respond to severe security threats. This book argues for a more inclusive global IR that considers the realities of the developing world and a reimagining of security regionalism among CARICOM SIDS.

“Wendy Grenade’s book is a call for understanding and action. There has been enduring criticism that CARICOM is ineffective in dealing with the myriad of issues that faces it. Grenade does not shy away from this discourse, but crucially offers new insights. Interweaving several conceptual approaches and rigorous analysis, she advances a more positive account of how the Caribbean, and other regions in the Global South, can fortify their security and enhance the lived realities of their people.”
