In the late 1980’s into the 90’s, an extensive consultation was held, on what was referred to as the OECS Unity Initiative towards political integration of a number of Eastern Caribbean states… The Initiative died an unnoticed death…A similar fate befell the Report of the West Indian Commission, Time for action, prepared after extensive consultations with the public (and) most recently, the Report of the Technical Working Group on Governance…
Why do these situations of Heads of Governments’ highly public announcements of initiatives, then rejection of recommendations, or hesitations in pursuit of decisions relating to paths towards enhancement of the integration process, recur so often?…
