The CARICOM Single Market and Economy: Legal, Political, Economic and Social Dimensions General Info Synopsis Presenters Papers Programme Register Paper Synopsis The idea of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) is not new and dates back at least to the report of the West Indian Commission of 1990. Indeed in that report the date of January 1, 1993, was proposed as D-day. More than ten years later it still has not happened. But it has never ceased to be a hot topic and, as the trend towards the creation of regional blocs continues, and with the imminent arrival on FTAA in 2005, it is almost the final chance to pose and answer the right questions. It is for this reason that the SALISES is hosting a conference on this theme. Participation is open to scholars, policy makers, graduate students, professionals and all persons interested in the burning issues associated with this theme. The integration of national economies is taking place all over the world. The European Union is but only one, though perhaps the most outstanding, example of this. Such movements spawn challenges in almost every sphere as independent nations grapple with the idea of opening their economies and societies to regional neighbours who will henceforth enjoy similar, if not identical, rights as citizens. These challenges may be manifested at the level of the entire grouping of nations as well as at the level of the individual member states. This conference seeks to attract papers that treat with this complex state of affairs as it relates to social, economic, political, cultural, environmental, legal and other dimensions and their implications for consensus, or dissent, among the CARICOM member states.
