Description

Europe has shaped and influenced the Caribbean for almost 500 years. Despite decolonization, it maintains a significant presence by virtue of territory, social and cultural legacies and a wide range of political and economic interests. This collection of essays examines the various forms these presently take as Europe and the Caribbean prepare for 1992 and beyond. Among the topics examined are the traditonal presence of Britain, France and the Netherlands in their previous and present territories, the emergence of new European factors such as the EC, Spain and the Soviet Union and the reaction to this evolving European presence by the Caribbean states themselves, by the United States and by neighbouring Latin American states. In each case, the political, security and developmental dimensions of the European presence is highlighted and set in context. The work concludes that a continuing close association of Europe with the Caribbean can be anticipated, requiring effective co-operation not only among the European states concerned, but also with those in the Caribbean and in the immediate region.
