A critical part of the history of regionalism in Latin America and the Caribbean is to be found in the widening of the economic and functional relationships among the English-speaking Caribbean to embrace other countries in the Greater Caribbean.
Bringing together a range of international experts to explain the broad thrusts of CARICOM’s widening project and the opportunities and challenges it presents, the book pays particular attention to CARICOM’s relations with the French Caribbean territories. Providing a review of the pan-Caribbean landscape this volume notes the impact of these new relationships on internal CARICOM affairs; inter-regional/South-South cooperation; and political and legislative changes in European metropoles of the non-independent territories. It also contemplates recent developments in the region and globally, such as political instability in Brazil and Venezuela, Britain’s decision to leave the European Union and the policies of the Donald Trump administration.
This edited collection will be an important resource for students and researchers in Latin American and Caribbean politics, economics, development, history and heritage.
"The CARICOM plus approach in this publication provides a reflection on Caribbean nationalism, regionalism and identity in one comprehensive space. The timeliness of this collection underpins its relevance and its historical connectedness ensures that this publication will become the foundation for many future writings. The "vectors of connection" explored broaden the dialectic space that should keep scholars engaged for decades." - June Soomer, Secretary General of the Association of Caribbean States (ACS)
"Caribbean integration processes have suffered major setbacks of late. This book, Pan-Caribbean Integration: Beyond CARICOM, offers a way out of the sterile attempts at state-led and top-down regional integration and suggests that such integration may be more productively driven by non-state and bottom up forces. A must read for anyone interested in reimagine the Caribbean’s future." - Professor W. Andy Knight, University of Alberta & Former Director, Institute of International Relations, UWI.
