This publication provides a selection of edited papers presented at a Commonwealth Regional Workshop on this topic held in Antigua and Barbuda in March 1998.It addresses issues such as accountability matters, privatization of government functions, complaint handling process, systemic investigations, compliance issues and management concerns. Caribbean case studies are placed within a larger international context, illustrating the experience of developing small and island states in general.
