It evaluates the estent to which the features of NPM have been successfully introduced in these countries and proposes that the countries under review may be classified along a continuum. For instance, while many of the features of NPM have been introduced in Barbados, (NPM) has not been introduced in Guyana. Both Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, however, have had partial success in introducing some features of NPM. The article suggest, therefore, that while the primary catalyst for reforming public management system may be similar, yet the success in adopting them is largely dependent on a number of factors operating within the domestic political system such as the governmental structures, the ethnic composition of the society the way in which the governmental systems operate and the state of the economy in the various territories
