Reinventing CARICOM: The Road to a New Integration

"Reinventing CARICOM records the history and evolution of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) from its inception in 1973. The book analyses the reasons for the establishment of CARICOM and provides a running commentary on the key issues and contentions which have resulted in the transformation and restructuring of the community over the years of its existence. In addition to making available excerpts of the reports of the numerous Heads of Government Conferences, the book provides details of the discussions and deliberations of the region s leaders on issues such as free trade, the Caribbean Court of Justice and the coordination of foreign policy. An added feature is the inclusion of the full drafts of all the major declarations and treaties which have until now, been unavailable to the general public. By pulling together in one volume these important documents on the integration movement, Professor Kenneth Hall has created both an essential research tools as well as an indispensable work of reference.
