| Publisher Description: This book provides the reader with an overview of the CARICOM economic integration system of regional co-operation and the primary agreements encompassing the basis of regional cooperation through identification of legal regimes expressed to constitute the CARICOM System. Most of these regimes post-date the ill-fated experiment in West Indian Federalism and, collectively, describe the institutional development of the political entities comprising the Commonwealth Caribbean in the period after 1962. In this context, it focuses on the earliest attempts at regional economic integration and the intensification of functional cooperation, both of which appeared at a critical time to offer better prospects for regional development than political integration. Central to these developments were the initiatives at regional economic integration, commencing with the Dickenson Bay Agreement in 1965, followed by CARIFTA in 1968 and culminating in the Treaty of Chaguaramas in 1973 establishing the Caribbean Community and Common Market. |
