Caribbean Trade, Integration and Development - Selected Papers and Speeches of Alister McIntyre (Vol. 1) - (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

-Sir Shridath Ramphal, former Chancellor
of the University of the West Indies, Common wealth Secretary General, Chairman
of the West Indian Commission and Director-General of the Caribbean Regional
Negotiating Machinery.

"Sir Alister held an unswerving belief that the only
workable pathway for the survival of the small countries of the Caribbean was
through a strategy of regional integration that would combine the synergies of
the individual countries of the region into a collective whole."

"He was quite insistent about
youth participation and either devised or supported various initiatives to
encourage a younger generation of scholars to participate directly in the
regional integration project."

"He held numerous
consultations, commissioned a number of technical studies from university
scholars, the private sector and governmental institutions and developed
structured negotiating positions (through his blue and red negotiating books)
to enable the region to speak with one voice and hold a common position in the
international community."

-Dr. Shelton Nicholls, Senior Advisor to
the President, Caribbean Development Bank.
