CARICOM: Appropriate Adaptation to a Changing Global Environment

The articles in this collection represent a set of penetrating analyses of aspects of the negotiations underway, as well as reform proposals and adjustment processes to which CARICOM countries have been, and will be subjected for the foreseeable future. Collectively, they consider the roles of the political economist, small State diplomat, development journalist and non-State actors. They look at options facing the countries in respect of their role as commodity producers (especially of bananas and sugar); the possibility of a novel approach to delimitation of the interlocking exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the Caribbean; and renewal of the agenda of political integration.
