Abstract
JAMES CRUZ, Johannie L. EL PAPEL DEL ESTADO EN LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DEL DESARROLLO SOSTENIBLE: EL CASO DEL TURISMO EN EL CARIBE INSULAR. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2009, vol.28, n.51, pp.265-281. ISSN 0121-4772.
The discussion about the relevance of state intervention in the market has been recurring in the history of economic thought. But tourism is another example that regulation is not only necessary, but fundamental to correct the asymmetries of a market that is far from fulfilling the assumptions that motivated the theory of individual interest leading to social benefits. The present work tries to emphasize the implications of ignoring the role of the state in building sustainable development, with special emphasis on tourism in the insular Caribbean.
Keywords : tourism; sustainable development; state regulation; Caribbean.
