Patrick’s work on the political evolution of the region is outstanding. However, being an economist as opposed to a political scientist, my admiration for him soared with his monumental work in editing and compiling the work of Sir Arthur Lewis in the three-volume publication, Sir Arthur Lewis Collected Papers 1941–1988.
It was quite unfortunate that he left us at that time because one can only imagine the kind of insights he would have been able to give us from such an effort. Certainly the approach to the political economy of the region would have benefitted.
