Focusing on the process of agricultural policy-making within the
Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM), this book provides
a context for understanding the evolving theory of regional
integration among developing countries. Dr. Axline traces the
progress of Caribbean integration from its beginnings in the
mid-1960s to its present state of stagnation. Drawing on original
documents and extensive interviews in the twelve CARICOM member
countries, he describes the move away from a market-oriented
laissez-faire approach to agriculture and the shift toward sectoral
programming. The role of other regional organizations, such as the
Caribbean Development Bank and the Caribbean Agricultural Research
and Development Institute, is examined and related to national and
regional policies in the agricultural sector. The Caribbean
experience, concludes Dr. Axline, suggests that the future
direction of regional cooperation among developing countries will
likely be toward more intensive integration on a less extensive
scale.
