Introduction to Caribbean Environments

In this book, the author debates the many environments exist within the Caribbean region. These environments include areas, such as politics, economics, sports, security and safety and the likes.

The Need for Regionalism

He is employing the leaders of the Caribbean to interate these areas in an effort to make the region as competitive as the rest of the world. Without integration it is likely that individual states will not prosper; therefore, regionalism is necessary.

Economic Sustainability

Hitherto, the economies of Caribbean states are not diverse enough to maintain sustainability for much longer if these countries remain as individual states. Combining every effort will reduce the chance of economic failure and enhance the region's competitive position amongst the elites.

Implementing Regionalism

This book also suggests how to implement regionalism and the many benefits to enjoy.

Pitfalls of Integration

Conversely, the author highlights some of the pitfalls of integration—a region comprising of varying cultures, ethnicities, languages, religion, demographics, levels of education, economic standards and competitiveness.

Models for Success

Finally, this book takes a model from the EU, North America and other sub-regions around the world to illustrate how regionalism could be successful in the Caribbean.
