Live music events are often associated with enjoyment, but they are rarely linked to international trade. This book aims to challenge this perception by examining the economic significance of live music and analyzing the factors influencing international trade in Caribbean live music services. The book explores various aspects, including race and ethnicity, unfulfilled regionalism within the Caribbean, and perceived biases in international trade agreements, and their impact on this trade. It draws upon empirical findings from a previous microeconomic study specifically focused on international trade in live music. Additionally, the book makes a unique comparison between the Caribbean and South Korea to assess the effectiveness of strategies aimed at developing international trade in live music services. South Korea, despite language barriers, is a dominant exporter of entertainment services, making this comparison particularly insightful for policymakers seeking to promote international trade in Caribbean live music.

Given the interdisciplinary nature of this book, it will appeal to a diverse audience, including postgraduate students and researchers in microeconomics, intraregional trade, international trade, international business, international relations, public policy, cultural studies, IP legal professionals, live music stakeholders, cultural practitioners, and policymakers. The book offers valuable insights into the economic value of live music and sheds light on the challenges and opportunities associated with international trade in this sector. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the factors shaping international trade in Caribbean live music services, making it a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers alike.
