Book Description
In 1987 St. Vincent's Prime Minister James Mitchell called on his fellow Prime Ministers in the Eastern Caribbean to merge their separate countries into a single state. He argued that individually they had exhausted the possibilities of separate independence and they could only pursue regional and international development and indeed economic survival by pooling their scarce resources to combat common problems. By the end of the year all the Leeward Islands rejected the initiative although it remained very much alive among the governments of the Windward chain, Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Lucia and the Commonwealth of Dominica. During the next eight years, efforts of the Windward Islands to merge were debated but the initiative for unification ultimately died. Through extensive interviews and analyses of primary documents, Lewis paints a compelling picture of island and regional jealousies and conflicting economic priorities, which prevented the Windward and Leeward Islands from cooperating and which ultimately destroyed the movement for political unification in the Windwards. Ultimately, the unification movement failed because the process was dominated by elites a

Caribbean Integration Law

ISBN: 0191649155
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
Caribbean Integration Law offers a comprehensive legal analysis of the current treaties and rules governing the two main regional organisations in the Caribbean, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). Both organisations are operating under new treaties, the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas and the Revised Treaty of Basseterre, respectively, which created the CARICOM Single Market and Economy, and the OECS Economic Union. The single market and economic union were built upon principles of free movement of goods, labour, and capital, and a common external tariff. This book reviews the foundations of Caribbean regional integration, the institutional frameworks of the two regional organisations, and fleshes out the scope and context of the legal systems created by the treaties. It also reviews the dispute settlement mechanisms under both treaties, including the increasingly active role of the Caribbean Court of Justice, which allows persons to enforce their treaty rights directly before the Court. The book offers selective comparisons to the current rules governing the European Union, and integrates crucial insights from the field of public international law, including the law of treaties and international institutional law.

Book Description
The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is at an economic crossroads. A secular slowdown in growth, a radical transformation of the external environment, high debt and fiscal imbalances, and persistent unemployment and poverty have combined to create an imperative for redefining the OECS strategy for growth and economic development. The crucial elements of such a strategy are: (1) the formulation of a long-term vision that positions the OECS Economic Union in the global economy; (2) reorientation o f the basic development model toward greater openness, competition and a more level playing field in the sub-regional economy, and (3) the creation of new capacity in the labor force and the private sector to take advantage of emerging opportunities in the global market place, and in the public sector to coordinate and support the process o f deeper regional (and global) integration. The current challenge facing the sub-region is how to reinvigorate and sustain growth alongside the following imperatives --reducing high unemployment and poverty rates, restoring fiscal and debt sustainability, and securing a more sustainable external position in an increasingly competitive global environment.
