520			_aThis paper by Trevor Farrell explores the concept of small states, with a specific focus on their challenges and opportunities, particularly in the Caribbean region. It examines the inherent characteristics of small states including limited resources vulnerability to external economic and political pressures, and the difficulty in achieving sustainable development. The analysis further highlights the contemporary problem faced to governance and social inequity. The paper also discusses the strategies that small states in the Caribbean have adopted to negotiate challenges, including regional cooperation, diversification of economies, and international partnerships. The paper concludes by offering recommendation for policy frameworks that could help these nations outcome their vulnerabilities and enhance their global competitiveness.
