Can CARICOM countries replicate the Singapore experience?

Abstract

This article tries to ascertain whether CARICOM countries1 can replicate the economic success of Singapore, based on export‐oriented industrialisation. Whereas it is possible for CARICOM countries to increase exports of some manufactures to industrial countries, the article contends that export‐oriented policies, currently urged upon CARICOM countries, will not effect a replication of the Singapore experience in an age of growing protectionism, rapid technological change, an inadequate indigenous social infrastructure and existing labour relations in the region.
