Abstract

This article examines the background against which CARIBCAN, a one‐way preferential trade agreement between Canada and the Commonwealth Caribbean, was introduced in 1986. It describes the various features of this Canadian initiative, examines the deficiencies identified by Canada and CARICOM after two‐years of its operation, and outlines the policy changes made to CARIBCAN as a result of a formal review. The article concludes that the introduction of CARIBCAN reflects in an historical context a continuum in Canada‐Commomwealth Caribbean trade and economic relations and is likely to be the basis for an expanded multilateral arrangement in the future.
