Antigua and Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda is the state context for the Barbuda land dispute in Sand heists and property rights in the Caribbean (Summer School). The episode focuses on Barbuda rather than Antigua, but the national government matters because Gaston Browne uses post-Hurricane Irma recovery to push individual title and development access.

In the source, Antigua and Barbuda is also a small-island political economy case: recovery money, bank collateral, resort development, environmental review, and national constitutional arguments all intersect with Small Open Economy Vulnerability and Tourism-Dependent Small Economy.
