Future of CARICOM in a changing international environment - [Geneva]CH [The Author] 1992 - 26 leaves

Argues that CARICOM and other models of Caribbean integration currently being offered are neither credible or realizable. Suggests that the best, unique, most lasting rationale for Caribbean Community is cultural identity and kinship. Proposes a West Indies Commonwealth with institutions at two levels viz Commonwealth institutions and inter-governmental institutions. Sees the Common Market's and Monetary Union's commitments and aspirations as being neither workable nor desirable, proposes a proxy to the FTA and the CET arrangements involving a simple trade-off between the costs and benefits of imperfections in these regimes.
