Ep32. The Caribbean: Global Enduring Paradise or crossroads of the Global Enduring Disorder?
b"Beneath the Caribbean\\u2019s idyllic seafronts and sandy beaches lies a darker truth. Illicit money flows, corruption, and organised crime leave these small states hollowed out and open to state capture. In fact, the failure of Caribbean states to provide services to their populations and to generate income has led some of them to sell their sovereignty to their highest bidder.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nIn this episode, Jason Pack is joined by Arthur Snell, host of the Behind the Lines podcast and former British High Commissioner to Trinidad and Tobago to discuss the multiplicity of interconnected roles Caribbean nations play within the Global Enduring Disorder. The pair discuss: Haiti\\u2019s recent gang uprising, the high homicide rates throughout the Caribbean, the historical role of the Caribbean as the first truly globalized region in human history, why former British colonies like the British Virgin Islands are increasingly turning to money laundering and drug trafficking, and how the legacy of the sugar trade has left societal scars in the region that are still felt to this day.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTwitter: @DisorderShow\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nSubscribe to our Substack here\\n\\xa0\\nWebsite: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nProducer: George McDonagh\\xa0\\nExec Producer: Neil Fearn\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nShow Notes Links\\xa0\\nRead the report, \\u2018Homicide and Organised Crime in Latin America and the Caribbean here\\n\\xa0\\nRead more about Haiti here\\xa0\\n\\nDiscover more about Andrew Fahie\\u2019s drug case here\\n\\xa0\\nRead \\u2018The Crime Conundrum in the Caribbean\\u2019 here\\n\\xa0\\nBuy Arthur's, How Britain Broke the World here\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
