Abstract

WITH THE END OF THE COLD WAR, U.S. ASSISTANCE TO GRENADA DRIED UP AND GRENADA WAS LEFT TO THE MERCY OF THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. NOW, GRENADA AND THE OTHER SMALL ISLAND-NATIONS IN THE REGION FIND THEMSELVES WHIPSAWED BETWEEN GIANT COMMERCIAL BLOCS IN NORTH AMERICA AND EUROPE. MEANWHILE, VIKTOR KOZENY, A CZECH-BORN, HARVARD-EDUCATED ENTREPRENEUR NICKNAMED THE "PIRATE OF PRAGUE" HAS PLEDGED MILLIONS TOWARD GRENADA'S TOURISM AND MARKETING. THIS IS UNFORTUNATE FOR THE COUNTRY AS KOZENY'S "FRIENDSHIP" WITH GRENADA'S GOVERNMENT PROVES THAT THE COUNTRY IS NOW ALMOST COMPLETELY UNDER THE SPELL OF A WELL-HEELED POLITICAL MACHINE.
