Abstract:
This paper assesses Barbados' competitiveness within the EU market in light of its recent signing of an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the EU in 2008. Using SITC data from 1992-2006, indices of revealed comparative advantage (RCA) were calculated. We found that Barbados possesses comparative advantages in Live Animals; Raw Sugars, Beet and Cane; and Spirits. However, policies such as the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), stringent sanitary and phytosanitary requirements, onerous rules of origin and non-tariff barriers including technical barriers to trade, threaten to undermine these advantages. These developments strongly suggest that Barbados must move agriculture up the value chain and increase value-added, as well as integrate it more fully with other sectors of its economy. Greater attention must be focused on countries in the EU other than the UK, if full advantage is to be taken of the EPA, as the UK market is already mature. There is evidence that export opportunities to these countries exist in other commodity groups (Fuels, Lubricants, etc.; Animal, Vegetable Oils Fats, Wax; Chemicals, Related Products; Manufactured Goods). When these issues are placed within the context of Barbados' history of weak capacity to take advantage of the market access opportunities available from their trading arrangements, the overarching challenge for Barbados is one of effective market access. This will require, among other things, a capable export promotion agency. The export of non-traditional commodities should be promoted, and greater support, perhaps in the form of incentives, should be provided to large firms that are not yet exporters to encourage them to look beyond the domestic market.

Focuses on indentured and other labour migration from Barbados to other parts of the Caribbean starting in 1863. Within the context of the sugar estate-dominated agriculture of Barbados, as well as its high population density, the author describes the policies and decisions of the governors and local assemblies regarding emigration. He points out how the sugar industry's need for labourers remained dominant in the policies, but that the drought in 1863 caused privations and unrest among the labourers, resulting in more flexibility regarding allowance of indentured emigration schemes and recruitment, such as toward St Croix and Antigua, and later toward British Guiana, and to a smaller degree Jamaica. He discusses how this led to rivalries regarding labour immigrants between colonies, and further attempts at restrictions on labour emigration and recruitment in Barbados.

Abstract:
Physical scarcity of freshwater is often given as the reason for water shortages, but it is usually its management that can either create or resolve the problem. This will be illustrated by the case of Barbados. The water management issues are typical of many small island states, some of which are particularly vulnerable to water scarcity, especially in the context of climate change. Barbados experiences extended interruptions in the water supply, mainly in northern and eastern parishes. Supplies of freshwater are relatively sparse, but it will be argued that it is the policy regime that ensures that water is inefficiently supplied, allocated and used, and so is the primary cause of supply interruptions. The objectives of this paper are to establish a theoretical framework for sustainable water resource management and frame a strategy for Barbados which reconciles demand and supply of water while taking into account environmental, economic and social interests. The mixed methodology involved semi-structured interviews of policy makers and practitioners from the water, tourism, agriculture and planning sectors, as well as a household survey.

Abstract:
This study examines the demand for labor in five major sectors of the Caribbean economy of Barbados. While the demand for labor function in the nontradable sectors appears well-defined in terms of real wages and real aggregate output, the inclusion of a variable to capture the effects of capital-deepening appears important to the specification of labor demand in the tradable sectors—agriculture and manufacturing. Low estimates of real wage elasticities and real output elasticities in the vicinity of unity suggest that employers in the major sectors are more likely to alter their demand for labor based on expectations of the economy's performance than in response to labor cost factors denominated in producer prices.

Abstract:
Small-scale agriculture in the developing world faces an uncertain future at the turn of the century from the dual pressures of globalisation and global environmental change. This thesis focuses on the small island economy of Barbados in the Eastern Caribbean, where these pressures have played an important historical influence in shaping the current nature of small farming. This thesis has two aims: (i) to provide an explanation for changes within the island's small-scale economy; and (ii) to improve the theoretical approach of political ecology as a means by which to examine the nature of conflict and change. This thesis has sought to carry out these aims by examining the decision-making processes of farmers within the framework of socio-economic, political and environmental influences, placing particular emphasis on the importance of farmers' agency (and the way in which this varies between different farmer types). These results are based on analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with 109 small farmers across the island. Secondary data are analysed to examine the broader structural context: (i) changes within agriculture (including policies and markets) since the 1960's and (ii) the nature of environmental influences (including climate and land degradation). Results from this thesis have identified six main different types of farmer, each of which closely relate to variations in farm and farmer characteristics, farmers' perceptions of external structures, and the role of their own agency. The thesis concludes that, since the early 1990's, Barbados has witnessed the emergence of a new group of more commercial small farmers working on a larger scale (10+ acres) and with greater agency. These farmers have competed with the more traditional small farmers and, hence, the disparity between farmers has widened. A large proportion of the new 'commercial small farmers' are white Barbadians, forced from former employment within the sugar industry by the effects of global processes (falling sugar prices and restructuring in the sugar industry). Access to resources within the 'white economy' has meant that these individuals have been able to start working on a larger scale. Results conclude that the Barbados government needs to make all small farms more competitive to deal with the effects of trade liberalisation, and to ensure that the disparity does not widen. The thesis also concludes that re-emphasising the role of agency within political ecology allows a more detailed exploration of the nature of power relations between individuals within a specific group of actors (i.e. small farmers in this example) from within the framework of external socio-economic, political and environmental structures operating at a variety of scales.

Abstract:
Obesity and obesity-related diseases – such as type 2 diabetes – have become the most crucial indicators of population health in the 21st century. Formerly understood as ‘diseases of affluence’, obesity is now prevalent in the Global South posing serious risk to socioeconomic development. This is particularly true for rapidly developing countries where nutrition transitions are most apparent. There are many factors which impact on risk of obesity (e.g. gender, culture, environment, socioeconomic status, biological determinants). The problem is further aggravated within small island developing states where food security is exacerbated by factors associated with globalization and development. The thesis examines the surge of obesity and type 2 diabetes within Caribbean populations, using Barbados as a case study. A holistic approach was applied using an ecological health model. Moving away from the lifestyle model, the theoretical framework underpinning included sub-theories (e.g. social constructivism, feminism, post-colonial theory, concepts of memory and trauma).

Abstract:
Water resource management is currently an issue of major significance at a global level both in terms of policy-making and academia. Small island states represent a special group, with Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados, even more particular cases. Development, industrialisation, tourism and resource usage continue to intensify, placing considerable pressures on freshwater supply, demand and quality. This situation is accentuated by the uncertainties surrounding changes in global climatic conditions. Furthermore, water security is not an end in itself, but a means to other ends: health, industrial and agricultural production, for example. These sectors in turn introduce a range of social, economic and environmental issues and problems. This project aims to evaluate the current freshwater management practices in Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados and propose various options for sustainable water resources management which may then improve water security. In Barbados, water resources are limited, as extractions from groundwater aquifers have reached the safe yield points. This is currently placing major constraints on a number of developmental proposals. Although in general, the water reserves in Trinidad and Tobago are abundant in relation to demand, wide regional disparities exist. Shortages are related to this uneven distribution but moreover, because of the inefficient operations of the national water authority. Through the rehabilitation and modernisation of the systems at the water authorities, coupled with the upgrading of the existing water legislation, tariff structure and the regulatory framework, water security in Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados can be greatly improved.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立屏東教育大學<br>社會發展學系碩士班<br>102<br>Since the 1960s, Taiwan had transformed gradually from agriculture to manufacturing and service economy. Responding to the influence of global free-trade market, a great number of traditional industries had thus moved overseas due to increasing domestic production cost. Under such circumstances, creating the investor-friendly production environment and low-cost land is the government’s major duty to prevent the hollowing out of domestic enterprises. To reach this goal, Taiwan Sugar Corporation (TSC), received from the Great Japanese Sugar Company after the Japanese Colonial Period, has then become the target to release its land. Main purpose of this study is to analyze the policies on the land-releasing process of TSC. The three issues are raised. Firstly, how are the procedures to release and get the land of TSC? Secondly, whose profits is the first priority in the planning process? Finally, is the land-release process fitting the social justice and the value of land use? This study explored the land operation and management of TSC through national policies (e.g. The Plan of Great Investment, Big Warm; Industrial Innovation Act [2010], etc.). More specifically, would the set up process of cooperate with the incompletely planning and regulations result in a large-scale land grabbing and farmland loss? Except for the possible environmental destruction, the deprivation of agricultural production would without doubt turn into a New Enclosure Movement eventually. Based on the case of the Sinyuan Farmland at Lujhu District in Kaohsiung, this study highlights the unbalancing transformation of the land of TSC would encourage the privatization of public authority. Therefore, it would be the barbarous game in farmland grabbing and the Coordinated and mutualistic relationship between the state and the corporate.

Abstract:
The Atlantic world became Britain’s main early imperial arena in the seventeenth century. Subsequent to Ireland, North America and the Caribbean were the most important zones of British settler colonialism. At the northern limits of settlement, around the Atlantic coast, the St Lawrence River, the Great Lakes and on the shores of the Hudson Bay, cod fisheries and fur-trading networks were established in competition with the French. This intrusion, while it had profound effects on the indigenous population, was comparatively constrained. Secondly, British settlements were founded in colonial New England from 1620. Expanding agrarian communities, based largely on family farms, displaced Native Americans, while the ports thrived on trade and fisheries. In the hotter zones to the south, both in the Caribbean and on the mainland, slave plantations growing tropical products became central to British expansion. Following in Spanish footsteps, coastal Virginia was occupied in 1607 and various Caribbean islands were captured from the 1620s: Barbados in 1627, and Jamaica in 1655. The Atlantic plantation system was shaped in part by environment and disease. But these forces cannot be explored in isolation from European capital and consumption, or the balance of political power between societies in Europe, Africa, and America. An increase in European consumer demand for relatively few agricultural commodities—sugar, tobacco, cotton, and to a lesser extent ginger, coffee, indigo, arrowroot, nutmeg, and lime—drove plantation production and the slave trade. The possibility of providing these largely non-essential additions for British consumption arose from a ‘constellation’ of factors ‘welded in the seventeenth century’ and surviving until the mid-nineteenth century, aided by trade protectionism. This chapter analyses some of these factors and addresses the problem of how much weight can be given to environmental explanations. Plantations concentrated capital and large numbers of people in profoundly hierarchical institutions that occupied relatively little space in the newly emerging Atlantic order. In contrast to the extractive enterprise of the fur trade, this was a frontier of agricultural production, which required little involvement from indigenous people. On some islands, such as Barbados, Spanish intrusions had already decimated the Native American population before the British arrived; there was little resistance.
