This research traces the roots of election observation and how this practice became integrated into the landscape of Caribbean electoral politics. More specifically, the study examines the process by which election observers have become key actors in elections in the Commonwealth Caribbean. One of the issues the book contemplates is why Caribbean countries accept the imposition of observation within the context of sovereignty. The case of Guyana and other Anglophone Caribbean states shows the costs of not having observers have been multidimensional and have eclipsed concerns of respecting state sovereignty. Lisa Vasciannie is Lecturer at the University of the West Indies at Mona, Jamaica. Dr. Vasciannie has done extensive resea rch on international election observation in the Commonwealth Caribbean and within the Organization of American States. She recently served as Vice President of the Organization of Women of the Americas in Washington, DC, USA and was part of the Commonwealth Observer team to the Maldives in 2012 and Tanzania in 2015. 000823629 650_0 $$aElections$$zWest Indies, British. 000823629 650_0 $$aDemocratization$$zWest Indies, British. 000823629 651_0 $$aWest Indies, British$$xPolitics and government. 000823629 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319590684$$z3319590685$$w(OCoLC)985082405 000823629 852__ $$bebk 000823629 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-59069-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000823629 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:823629$$pGLOBAL_SET 000823629 980__ $$aEBOOK 000823629 980__ $$aBIB 000823629 982__ $$aEbook 000823629 983__ $$aOnline 000823629 994__ $$a92$$bISE
