    New business activities for St. Eustatius Creating income by producing instead of importing Report August 9 2007 Fabian van de Raadt University of Twente August 2007 Departure: May 07 2006 Return: July 07 2006 Address abroad: L.E. Saddlerweg z/n Oranjestad St. Eustatius Netherlands Antilles Principal: Mr. Koos Sneek, Executive Director St. Eustatius Business Association (STEBA) Oranjestad, St. Eustatius Graduation committee: Chairman: Dr. Ir. S.J. de Boer Member: Prof. Dr. P.B. Boorsma Management Summary Introduction St. Eustatius belongs to the Netherlands Antilles under the current agreement. Expectedly December 15th 20081 The Netherlands Antilles will end; St. Eustatius will get the status of a special municipality of the Netherlands. The population as of January 1st 2005 includes 2584 inhabitants2. On this moment, the high degree of imported products and services results in a negative trade balance. This is an unwanted situation for the developing island. The main problem is therefore formulated as follows: What new business activities are promising for St. Eustatius and how can these be developed? Framework The first chapter includes an introduction of the island and the main problem. Chapter 2 provides a framework to understand the followed steps. After the current situation is analyzed in chapter 3, the report consists of two parallel parts: chapter 4, which provides criteria for the alternatives, and chapter 5 and 6, which results in alternatives for new businesses. An important technique for analyzing data is the use of interviews. This technique is chosen because of the small size of the island and therefore limited data availability. An improvement in the trade balance can be achieved by two main economic possibilities: increasing export and import substitution, on which this research is concentrated.

  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.
