ABSTRACT
Investigating the unique EU-CARICOM legal relationship, this book explores
the major theme of globalisation, which shapes inter-regional organisations
individually and determines their relationship to one another. It evaluates how
EU-CARICOM relations have fostered trade, security and other development
measures, reflecting on the past, future and present of the Caribbean states that
are active in the EU-CARICOM framework.
Providing case studies on key issues such as immigration, tax and energy, it
examines the impact that the EU-CARICOM has on the slave trade and the
deportation of millions of people. Such bitter experiences still indirectly shape
culture, hopes and the economic framework of possibilities today; therefore, the
focus of the volume is on the issues which the constant stream of globalisation
creates. The book assesses many potential impacts that the agenda of the EU
and Brexit pending will have upon the EU-CARICOM relationship, given the
potential for these to create instability.
Overall, it highlights how the EU and CARICOM are representations for
multilateralism and serve as models that provide the basis for many successful
initiatives and agreements. In all new agreements and negotiations, the will to
accept the Sustainable Development Goals and thus to make inequality, climate
change and other goals of the SDGs the basis of an order that puts people
at the centre, are evaluated, and the global agenda 2030 and its impact on
EU-CARICOM.
