Abstract

In the two decades and more since Jamaica acceded to independence to be followed, thereafter, in quick succession by the other English-speaking states defined as the English-speaking Caribbean or the Commonwealth Caribbean, sometimes referred to as ’the West Indies’, these states, individually and as a group, have achieved a remarkable visibility in terms of the roles which they have played at the regional and international levels, and in their responses to the constraints and opportunities which they have encountered in their external environment. However, it is not easy at this stage of research in the region or perhaps even useful, as is contended later in this chapter, to catalogue in some detail the matters which evoked these roles or which stimulated such responses. This study, it should be said at the beginning, is in the circumstances essentially impressionistic.
