"This book is about the Law of the Sea in the Caribbean and the contribution of that law to economic development in the region. The most important legal instrument for that discussion is undoubtedly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea which entered into force on 16 November 1994, some twelve years after it was adopted in December 1982, and following more than nine years of negotiations, which began in 1973"--

This book provides an insight into commercial relations between large economies and Small States, the benefits of regional integration, the role of Small States as financial centres as well as B2B and State to State dispute resolution involving Small States. Several contributions allow the reader to familiarise themselves with the general subject matter; others scrutinise the particular issues Small States face when confronted with an international dispute and discuss new and innovative solutions.

Researchers, policy advisors and practitioners will find a wealth of insights, information and practical ideas in this book.

He also demonstrates how international law is the primary driver of domestic regulation and illustrates its influence on municipal law. This book reflects the policy aspirations of the Caribbean people toward the environment"--Page [4] of cover.

How is it that a great swath of the independent, English-speaking Caribbean continues to accept the judicial oversight of their former colonizer via the British institution of the Privy Council? And what possibilities might the CCJ--a judicial institution responsive to the region, not any single nation--offer for untangling sovereignty and regionhood, law and modernity, and postcolonial Caribbean identity?
