| English abstract | The article provides an informative insight into the WTO, the Caribbean and the political economy of small island states. In particular, it analyses accession under the WTO and examines the impending accession of the Bahamas, the only country in the Caribbean and the western hemisphere, which is not yet a member. It explores the varying accession experience of Caribbean countries and explains why the Bahamas’ entry into the multilateral trade system will come at a higher cost than its counterparts. It then details various stages of WTO accession and explores the possible cost and policy implications for the Bahamian government |
